Wynonie Harris' "Keep on Churnin' (Till the Butter Comes)" is my favorite example, it's hilarious to imagine the sort of reactions this would have gotten in '52.
Keep on churnin' till the butter comes
Keep on churnin' till the butter comes
Keep on pumpin' make the butter flow
Wipe off the paddle and churn some more
Little boy blue, come blow your horn
The cow's in the meadow, sheep's in the corn
Tend the sheep, leave him be
Bring the finest brown cow straight to me
[Chorus]
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
How now, brown cow, keep on eatin' your hay
Go in your shed, be sure you're fed
Go in your shed, be sure you're fed
Daddy needs butter for his shortening bread
[Chorus]
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Who now, moo cow, keep on swishing your tail
Don't kick over the pail
First comes the milk, then comes the cream
Takes good butter to make your daddy scream
[Chorus]
I wanted some butter one day
A fine brown cow came my way
It kept on pumpin'
Butter came jumpin'
I'll milk you, cow, 'till my pail is full
Look out, heifer … here comes your bull
