Biography:
Carl Leroy Pullins, born in Elgin Illinois on November 12, 1940, may have had voice training by fellow C&W recording artist Billy Edd Wheeler (Ode To The Little Brown Shack Out Back), but he sounded uncannily like Roger Miller.
So much so that, when he released I'm A Nut (# 18 Country/# 57 Billboard Pop Hot 100) in June 1966 on Kapp 758, most everyone thought they were hearing yet another Roger Miller tune to go along with the thirteen hits he had registered since late 1960

Leroy Pullins - I'm A Nut (1966)
Beedle-dee-bah, beedle-dee-bah, beedle-dee-ree-pa-dom...
[Chorus]
D D
I'm a nut, I'm a nut
D A7
My life don't ever get in a rut, *whoop-whoop-whoop-whoop*
The head on my shoulders is sorta loose
And I ain't got the sense God gave a goose
D
Lord, I ain't crazy, but ...I'm a nut
D A7
Is is wetter under water, if you're there when it rains?
D
Is it shorter to New York, than it is by a plane?
G
Between myself and I, I wonder who's the dumber
D -stop-
Is it hotter down south, than it is in the summer?
Beedle-dee-bah, beedle-dee-bah, beedle-dee-ree-pa-dom...
[Chorus]
D A7
I drove my Cadillac to Vegas to satisfy my lust
D
Wheelin', dealin', left ol' Vegas on a Greyhound bus
G
I sure didn't set the woods on fire while I was there,
D -stop-
But remember only forest fires prevent bears
Beedle-dee-bah, beedle-dee-bah, beedle-dee-ree-pa-dom...
[Solo]
D A7 D G A7 D
[Chorus]
D A7
The poverty war will be over, when I begin to fight
D
If it took a dime to go 'round the world I couldn't get out of sight
G
I don't mind to take the girls out if they don't mind to go Dutch
D -stop-
Makes me feel like a million dollars, and I bet I ain't worth half that much
Beedle-dee-bah, beedle-dee-bah, beedle-dee-ree-pa-dom...
[Chorus]
D
Oh, crazy man! I'm a nut!
Oh, Lordy, Lordy Lordy, Lordy
I'm crazy, I'm a nut!
