The Colonel's song-full text

Does anyone happen to have the full text of the Colonel's song about living in the South? A quick search on Google only turned up the first line.

This is all I can remember, since it's been years since I've seen this:

Well, boll mah weevil and corn mah pone!
Ya nevah git lonely 'cause you're nevah alone
When you're way down south (clicks his heels)
When you're way down south (clicks his heels)

Oh, Ah wish Ah wuz in the land o' juleps
Where the (something something) and the gals have tulips (or "two lips")
When you're way down south (clicks his heels)
When you're way down south (clicks his heels)...

And if I remember, that's where he's cut off by Charlie Dog's arrival.

"Oh, Belvidere! Come heah, boy!"

Like I said, it's on DVD. in Golden Collection, Volume 6, Disc 1. If you turn on the captions (or subtitles) AND listen closely when Charlie's talking to the audience intercepts the Colonel's singing, you might figure out all the lyrics for that song.

Thanks for the tip. I'm glad to hear that it's available on DVD, I was worried that WB might have left it out, because of political correctness.

I have the missing line! It's

Oh, Ah wish Ah wuz in the land o' juleps
In the warm summer sunshine where the gals have tulips

The Internet rules!
