Funniest Song Lyrics:
"Don't Touch My Hat"
The Funny Lyrics: My John B. Stetson
Was my only friend And we've stuck together Through many a woman ...So if it's her you want I don't care about that You can have my girl But don't touch my hat Why They're Funny: He doesn't care if someone takes his girlfriend, but he DOES care if someone touch his hat! So be careful!

| "They Don't Like Me"
The Funny Lyrics: She said 'You know he doesn't drink much
And we've never heard him curse And he's really not that ugly, Dear She could have done much worse' Why They're Funny: A song about his inlaws, and his belief of their reaction to him. The joke is that Lyle is famously unattractive.
