Does anybody have the words to this?
Do you know who did it or where I might get a recording? Thanks

Hmm....

I don't know those "words" as a song title, but rather part of the lyric to "Green Green Rocky
Road." I've heard versions by Dave Van Ronk and Chris Smither.

Judy Henske had this on one of her albums. Some of her fans will
probably chime in with the lyrics. The only thing I can remember is that
first line and the second: "Does your mama chaw tobacca?"

If I remember correctly, that song is on one of Judy Henske's records.

I remember Chubby Checker doing this years ago. In fact, I just pulled
out "Chubby's Folk Album". The writer is listed as E. Evans on the album
cover and the record label. It then states Woodcrest-Evanston Music - BMI.

Sorry, I don't remember the words, but if you get the words, I really would like them too.

Somewhere in my cloudy memory (someone I know used to sing this song):

Hooka tooka my soda cracker
Does your mammy chaw tobacc'er

As I remember the intro to this song, it had to do with prostitution. The kids would
sing this song when the law came close to where business was being conducted.

It's really been a long time since I heard this song. I hope it gets
posted so I can get it. I'm new to posting, however, I take it that some
people don't like the clutter and prefer that songs get sent to private
E-Mail. Here's hoping it gets posted in the open. Good Luck!

I think that Chubby Checker had a hit with this one too.

Judy Henske does a great version of this song, and is probably the one you remember.
On the album, it starts with a humorous monologue intro where she asks the group to
repeat the chorus. She then says, "You sound like a bunch of kids outside a
Chicagoe whorehouse." The song itself doesn't really seem to be about this subject
at all --or I've been mssing the true meaning of soda cracker all of my life.

OK OK. I'm tired of seeing this thread. Here are the words straight
from the mouth of Porky Parcheesi himself:

Hooka Tooka
by E. Evans and E. Mazer

Hooka tooka my soda cracker

Does yer mama chaw tobacca
If yer mama chaw tobacca
Sing hooka tooka my soda cracker

Who y'all love, Who y'all love, I say
You know I love my mother-in-law
If ya love Mama like you say
Why can't Mama chaw

Hooka tooka my soda cracker

Does yer mama chaw tobacca
If yer mama chaw tobacca
Sing hooka tooka my soda cracker

Mama loves, Mama loves you all
And you know I'm her son-in-law
If you love me like you say you do
Chaw tobacco too

Hooka tooka my soda cracker

Does yer mama chaw tobacca
If yer mama chaw tobacca
Sing hooka tooka my soda cracker

Green Green Rock Road

When I go by Baltimore, got no carpets on my floor.
Got no carpets on my floor, when I go by Baltimore.
ch.
Green green, rocky road
Promenade and green,
Tell me who you love,
Tell me who you love.

When you see me coming fast, sweep the floor and mow the grass.

ch.
bridge:Tell me who you love,
tell me who you love,
won't you tell me who you love.

Hooka Duka soda cracker, does you mother chew tobacca.
Does your mother chew tobacco, hooka duka soda cracker.
ch.
See that crow up in the sky, he can't walk but he can fly.
He can't walk but he can fly, can't be free like you and I.
ch.
bridge:


I've been playing this song for over twenty five years. The first person
I think I heard sing it was Len Chandler. I'm not sure who's version
this is.

Enjoy
