The Bottomless Lake

Here's the story of a man and his family And a big trip that they took Well, I heard all about in a restaurant And I read it in a history book They rented a car at the Erie Canal But the car didn't have no brake Said Ma to Pa "My God this car" "Is gonna fall into the Bottomless Lake" Well, Mama turned to Daddy with a pale face Said "I've done something horribly wrong" "Well, the waters still runnin' in the bathtub" And I think I left the kitchen light on" Then I heard a crash the car when splash And the compass rolled around and around Oh, for Heaven's Sake! We fell in a lake And I think we're all gonna drown Chorus: We are falling down Down to the bottom of a hole in the ground Smoke 'em if you got 'em I'm so scared I can hardly breathe I may never see my sweatheart again Play once after first verse There was plenty of food in the backseat And the windows were rolled up tight So we all nibbled on a chicken leg
