Lyrics
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
'Til 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 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
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!
