Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Mama says yes, Papa says no

Make up your mind 'cause I gotta go

Gonna raise hell at the Union Hall

Drive myself right over the wall

[Chorus]

Rip this joint, gonna save your soul

'Round and 'round and 'round we go

Roll this joint, gonna get down low

Start my starter, gonna stop the show

Yeah

Oh yeah

[Verse 2]

Mister President, Mister Immigration Man

Let me in, sweetie, to your fair land

Tampa bound and Memphis too

Wow, Short Fat Fannie is on the loose

I dig that sound on the radio

Then slip right across to Buffalo

Dick and Pat in ol' D.C.

Well, they're gonna hold some shit for me

[Verse 3]

Yin, yang, you're my thang

Oh, now, baby, don't you hear me sing?

Flip, flop, fit to drop

Come on now, baby, won't you let it rock?

[Verse 4]

Oh yeah, oh yeah

San Jose down to Santa Fe

Kiss me quick, baby, won't you make my day?

New Orleans with the Dixie Dean

And to Dallas, Texas, with the Butter Queen

[Chorus]

Rip this joint, gonna rip yours too

It's a brand new step, it's a-what we do

Roll this joint and get down low

'Round and 'round and 'round we go

[Outro]

Wham, bam, Birmingham

Alabam'

Don't give a damn

Little Rock and I'm fit to drop

Ah, let it rock
