Story Behind The Song
My dad used to tell a joke about a poor family who received a toilet and didn't know what to do with it, so they just improvised. As it happened, Grandpa ended up with his picture framed by the seat.

Lyrics
The Outhouse Song
copyright Sonny B. Bell
all rights reserved
Your leavin' got me thinkin'
That I oughta re-decorate
Since I was alone and bored
I had no call to wait
So I took that big old picture
That I once had made of you
And I hung it on the outhouse
Underneath the quarter moon
CHORUS:
I've done some re-arranging
Since you took off like you did
I made a brand new picture frame
From a broken toilet lid
I wanted you to see it
But you up and left too soon
Now your picture's on the outhouse
Underneath the quarter moon
The morning that you left me
And I found out I'd been duped
I just sat around the house awhile
'Cause it left me kinda pooped
But later in the day
I was whistling up a tune
Hanging pictures on the outhouse
Underneath the quarter moon
CHORUS:(Repeat)
I still can't believe you left me
And it makes me kinda sad
As I sit here in the darkness
Of this old hillbilly pad
But at least I got your picture up
And I sure am glad I did
'Cause I can see you any time I want
I just have to raise the lid
CHORUS:(Repeat)
