The mining at the quarry was slow
The miners sat around,
With sharpened drills and dynamite sticks,
And debris upon the ground.
No modern facilities had they,
Only a path along the hill
That led to a shack, marked "Al's Cabin",
An outhouse with some frills.
"Where is the ladies rest room, sir?"
The miner just leaning back,
Smiled, but said not a word,
And nodded toward the shack.
With quickened step she entered there
But to only stayed a minute,
We heard her scream and scream again
Like a spider might be in it.

With startled look and a beet-red face
She bounded through the door,
And headed quickly for her car
Just like many gals before.
She missed the foot path, jumped the bank
The lady gave a shout,
As her panty hose, down at her knees
Caught on a oak tree sprout.
She tripped and fell - got up, and then
In an obvious rage of disgust,
Got in her car, stepped on the gas,
And faded in the dust.
Of course we all desired to know
What made the lady do,
The things she did, and then we found
The quarry owner knew.
A PA system he had devised,
To make the thing complete,
He had nailed a speaker on the wall
Underneath the toilet seat.
He would wait until a gal got set
And then the devilish tyke,
Would stop his mining long enough,
To speak into the mic.
And as she sat there, a voice below
Struck terror, fright and fear,
"Will you please use the other hole lady,
We're painting under here!"
