Phoebe was the name
of Aunt Dinah's child
Phoebe Brown from Tybco town.
Phoebe was the maid
for the great Miss Wilde,
The lady took Phoebe
when ever she travelled around.
Went to France and to Spain,
Now she's come back again,
She's not the same,
she's putting on airs,
She's changed her name to
Senorita Phoebeetta Brown.

Phoebeetta should know better
It will get her in a jam
tryin' to fool old Uncle Sam,
When we "kno's just who she am,"
Paint and powder, dressing louder
Tryin' to fool ev'rybody in town,
When we kno's her name ain't nothin' else
but jes' plain Phoebe Brown.

Phoebeetta should know better
It will get her in a jam
tryin' to fool old Uncle Sam,
When we "kno's just who she am,"
Paint and powder, dressing louder
Tryin' to fool ev'rybody in town,
When we kno's her name ain't nothin' else
but jes' plain Phoebe Brown.

Phoebe kept the folks
in the town in a spell.
Spanish walk and Spanish talk.
One day Phoebe walked
in a big hotel
and ev'ryone thought that now
here is where Phoebe will balk
She was shown to a chair
and with her Spanish air
She said: "Senor,
bring one Spanish stew,
Some Spanish Mack'rel,
But bring a slice
of water melon too."

Phoebeetta should know better
It will get her in a jam
tryin' to fool old Uncle Sam,
When we "kno's just who she am,"
Paint and powder, dressing louder
Tryin' to fool ev'rybody in town,
When we kno's her name ain't nothin' else
but jes' plain Phoebe Brown.

Phoebeetta should know better
It will get her in a jam
tryin' to fool old Uncle Sam,
When we "kno's just who she am,"
Paint and powder, dressing louder
Tryin' to fool ev'rybody in town,
When we kno's her name ain't nothin' else
but jes' plain Phoebe Brown.
