    looking for a song from this movie
    The song I'm attempting to find the lyric's maybe sheet music to in tab is the one he is singing to his kids. I know kind of silly little ditty but i would love to learn and sing it to my kids any help would be highly appreciated. By the way this movie rocked i remember when it came out watching it and loving it as a kid and watched it several times since and just keeps getting funnier. thanks in advanced for any help.My favorite parts in the movie where all the fight scenes the characters where outrageously funny. The movie isn't for everyone how ever most southern folk should enjoy it thoroughly if they like this type of comedy with some odd little twists and turns its not all funny just bits and peaces mixed with some other stuff thrown in.
