Now when I get the blues, I get me a rockin' chair

When I get the blues, I get me a rockin' chair

Well, if the blues overtake me gonna rock right away from here



Now when 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



Give me one more kiss, hold it a long long time

Give me one more kiss, hold it a long long time

Now love me baby, till the feelin' hits my head like wine



Here comes my baby, flashin' her new gold tooth

Here comes my baby, flashin' her new gold tooth

Well she's so small, she can mambo in a pay phone booth



Now flip, flop and fly

I don't care if I die

Now flip, flop and fly

I don't care if I die

Ah, don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye



{sax solo}



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 way to jump



Now flip, flop and fly

I don't care if I die

Now flip, flop and fly

I don't care if I die

Now, don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye

Oh my!
