Now, when I get the blues, I get me a rockin' chair.
When I get the blues, baby, get me a rockin' chair.
Well, if the blues overtake me, gonna rock right away from here.
Now, I get lonesome, I jump on the telephone.
When I get lonesome, I jump on the telephone.
I call my baby, tell her I'm'on my way back home.
Now, flip, flop and fly, I don't care if I die.
Now, flip, flop and fly, I don't care if I die.
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye.
Gimme one more kiss, hold it a long, long time.
Gimme one more kiss, hold it a long, long time.
Ah, love me, baby, till the feelin' hits my head like wine.
Here comes my baby, flashin' a new gold tooth.
Here comes my baby, flashin' a new gold tooth.

I'm like a Mississippi bullfrog, sittin' on a hollow stump.
I'm like a Mississippi bullfrog, sittin' on a hollow stump.
I got so many women I don't know which a-way to jump.
