    Story Behind the Song
    It started out as a ditty about my friends the rippers and their large ass---ortment of mules and soon grew to the beloved favorite we know it as today.

    Lyrics
    THERE ARE SEVENTEEN THINGS YOU CAN’T DO WITH YOUR MULES 5-25-02

    D A D D7
    THERE ARE SEVENTEEN THINGS YOU CANT DO WITH YOUR MULES
    G
    YOU CAN’T LEAD A MULE TO WATER AND MAKE HIM TAKE A DRINK

    PUT EM IN A BOAT THE LAST TIME MADE IT SINK
    E A
    YOU CAN’T RAISE EM UP ON ICE-CREAM CAKE AND FODDER
    D A D
    THIRTEEN THINGS YOU CAN’T DO WITH YOUR MULES


    THIRTEEN THINGS YOU CAN’T DO WITH YOUR MULES

    YOU CAN’T TAKE A MULE TO DINNER AND WHAT DID YOU EXPECT

    THE LAST TIME THAT YOU DID HE LEFT YOU WITH THE CHECK

    THE WAITRESS BROUGHT YOU DRIBBLE BIBS FOR THE DROOLS

    THE TWELVE THINGS YOU CANNOT DO WITH YOUR MULES


    THE TWELVE THINGS YOU CANNOT DO WITH YOUR MULES

    YOU CAN’T RIDE EM TO THE AIRPORT OR BOARD EM ON A PLANE

    BECAUSE THEY CAN’T GET PASSPORTS SECURITY’S SUCH A PAIN

    STEP ASIDE AND PLEASE REMOVE YOUR SHOES

    FIVE THINGS LEFT YOU CANT DO WITH YOUR MULES

    BRIDGE
    Bm F# bm F#

    JENNY MULE AND MOLLY MULES, JOHNS AND JACKS
    Bm F# Bm
    WE ALL KNOW BOUT THE TWENTY-MULE TEAM WITH THE BORAX ON THEIR BACKS
    G
    HORSE HAS 62 CHROMOSOMES, DONKEYS HAVE 64
    A F#
    THAT LEAVES A MULE WITH 63 THAT’S WHY THEY CANT MAKE MORE….MULES

    BREAK: D / A / D / / / G / / / D / G / G / / / D / D


    FIVE THINGS LEFT YOU CAN’T DO WITH YOUR MULES

    A MULE IS GOOD TO HUNT WITH CAUSE HE MAKES A STEADY MOUNT

    HE DOESN’T LIKE THE RIFLE BLAST AND AT CAMMOFLAGE HE’S NO COUNT

    CAN’T PLAY POKER, PINNOOCHLE, OR CLUE

    THESE ARE THE THINGS YOU CAN’T DO WITH YOUR MULE
