Clyde played electric bass.
Played it with finesse and grace.
Sat on the porch ain't got no shoes.
Pickin' the bass and singin' the blues.

Misery loves company.
That old dog sings harmony.
Tambourine tied to his tail.
You can hear him howl, you can hear him wail.
Oh, yeah.

Killer dog.

Clyde played electric bass.
Clyde played electric bass.
Clyde played electric bass.
Electric bass.
Electric bass.
C'mon, Clyde.
Electric bass.

Instrumental break with vocal stylings.

C'mon, Clyde.
C'mon, Clyde.
C'mon, Clyde.
Oh, yeah.
Pickin' the bass, singin' the blues.
Singin' the blues.
Singin' the blues.
Singin' the blues.
Awww, yeah.
Clyde played electric bass.
Yeah, electric base.

Jodie girl, she got the dollar.
Down the road you could hear her holler.
Come on, Clyde, there's things to do.
Clyde, you pickin' and singin' the blues.
He don't care!

Clyde played electric bass.
Played it with finesse and grace.
Sat on the porch ain't got no shoes.
Pickin' the bass, singin' the blues.

Instrumental to end with vocal stylings.

C'mon, Clyde.
C'mon, Clyde.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Et al.
