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.

Well, she's so small she can mambo in a payphone 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.


[Instrumental break.]

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.


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.
