[Ask Your Mother] Yet another teasing song, this one rather rare, taken from the J. Kenneth Larson typescript of Southeastern Idaho folklore, "Barnyard" (p. 43, number 43) As your mother for a bar of soap To watch the monkey climb the rope. Ask you mother for fifty cents He climbed so fast he skinned his Ask to watch the elephant jump the fence; He jumped so high he split the sky And didn't come back till the Fourth of July! Please climb onto the high seats, For the elephant is going to Pea-nuts, fifteen cents a sack!
