Lyrics
There once was a poodle named Shirley

Whose hair was impossibly curly

Though she rolled in the mud and crawled into bed early

Her hair, I'm afraid, remained curly

Shirley, oh, Shirley

Her hair was impossibly curly

Young Shirley, oh, Shirley

Her hair, I'm afraid, remained curly

There was a fine dachshund called Nate

Who thought that his hair was too straight

So he dug a good hole and slipped under the gate

When they found him, his hair was still straight

Nate, oh, Nate

When they found him, his hair was still straight

Nate, poor little Nate

When they found him, his hair was still straight

Now the end of the story is funny

On a day that was brilliantly sunny

Young Shirley and Nate met outside of the gate

And eloped without clothing or money

Nate, whose hair was so straight

Thought Shirley was wonderfully curly

And Shirley thought Nathan was great

That's the story of Shirley and Nate
