I listened to the original song about a million times, and I did my best transcribing the lyrics. I couldn't find them online, so I think this is the only place they're located. Enjoy! "TOO MUCH COMPETITION" Allen Bunn (aka. Tarheel Slim), 1953 I know something on my baby, but I’m scared to tell her so. I know something on my baby, but I’m scared to tell her so. Too much competition with the guys that live next door. No man will pay ten dollars, to get one shirt washed for nine. No, no. One shirt washed for nine. When he can take two to the laundry, get ‘em done for thirty-nine. Yes, he can. Lord, lord...lord, lord...lord, lord...lord, lord...lord, lord...too much competition. He can take two to the laundry, get ‘em done for thirty-nine. I don’t know why my baby won’t do right. I don’t know why my baby won’t do right. She lives straight as a arrow in the daytime, crooked as a snake at night. She’s little, she’s low, she stand ‘bout four feet nine. Oh yeah. Stand ‘bout four feet nine. I expect competition cause, boy, she’s really fine. Yes she is. Lord, lord...lord, lord...lord, lord...lord, lord...lord, lord...too much competition. I expect competition cause, boy, she’s really fine. Let’s go now! (instrumental) If you love your woman, you better pin her to your side. If you love your woman, you better pin her to your side. Cause the first Fleetwood Cadillac passes, she’s gonna wanna ride. Yes, she will. Lord, lord...lord, lord...lord, lord...lord, lord...lord, lord...too much competition. First Fleetwood Cadillac passes, she’s gonna wanna ride.
An excuse for Erika: Erika read from a notebook because "Too much competition" is a song by Gregory, who got lost somewhere that evening with a beautiful lady.
Bonnie Foote ... why not ! But see : ruclips.net/video/uqfQXKg2Wq0/видео.html ´mashed potato records’... maison de disque ...(record label) Et aussi dans Bandcamp ... sur le volume II on peut entendre une version de ´Tupelo pine’. !!

How absolutely fabulous. That singer immediately turns blues to jazz.
I love Shaye, so pretty
What a fantastic solo by Barnabus on the "bone" 😊 Fantastic sung by Erika.
SOMETHING MAGICAL ABOUT THIS GROUP!

As aways, Jason comes throuh withy stunning banjo playing. A most accompiswhed artist abd very depebdabl
What a washboard player.. simply magnificent.
Magnifiquement joue',vous e'tiez tous fantasiques (Australie ) :-) 🐸
Bravissimi! Eccezionali! Il TOP! Erica che voce!
Excellent groupe, très pro la grande classe, merci et bravo
Oh ! Quand il n'y en a plus il y en a encore. ...
☺☺
Ah ... Jason, ah Robin ... 👏👏
Whoa ! Sizzling hot ... Erika is new at singing this one and is glancing at lyric notes - Greg usually sings it, but isn't on this tour.
Bob Throne .... Yes, for example ... ruclips.net/video/rdUKUrVdxRA/видео.html ...
Erika is so fine! What a voice!
Desde Sevilla 🇪🇸 👍👍👋👋🌹🤗
Do you see that smile from Shaye
Not much too smile about,she happens to have a miserable face.
Tuba Skinny Competition? Which band could be that?
Are they coming to France again this year(2020)? Anybody point me to their schedule dates?
Nota mil
Is that shirt Barnabus is wearing a tribute to his dog?
I think that a black hat is associated with it
I miss tupelo ... rest in peace old pal ... you were as much a part of the band as anyone else .... 😞
Good thought, though the picture on his shirt does not look like Tupelo at all. Looks more like a golden retriever.
Bonnie Foote ... why not !
But see : ruclips.net/video/uqfQXKg2Wq0/видео.html ´mashed potato records’... maison de disque ...(record label)

Sorry about the angle all you Erika fans. Nothing to see here.
Robin’s worn a hole in that damn washboard, buy a new one, dude.
