Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Shake it like a goo goo duck

Shake it like a goo goo duck

Shake it like a goo goo duck

Shake it like a goo goo duck

[Verse 2]

Since you been gone

I stay in the tavern every night

Since you been gone

I stay in the tavern every night

You, you just won't do right

[Verse 3]

Since you been gone

I stay in the tavern every night

Since you been gone

I stay in the tavern every night

[Verse 4]

You, you

What'd you say, Bobby?

(You) You

(You) You

(You) You

(You) Just won't do right

[Verse 5]

Since you been gone

I been all alone

I been waiting

I been watching for you

[Verse 6]

(My heart is cryin') Tell me

(Surely I'm dyin') What'd you say?

(But still I'm waiting here for you) Hey

[Verse 7]

Since, since, since, since, since, since, since, since

Since you been gone

I been all alone

Wait a minute

[Verse 8]

Since you been gone

I stay in the tavern every night

Since you been gone

I (Stay in the tavern) When?

Every night

[Verse 9]

I said I (I said I )

I (I)

I (I)

I (I)

I (I)

I (I)

I (I)

[Verse 10]

I (I), I (I), I (I), I (I)

Stay in the tavern every night

Till you, you just won't, won't do right

One more time

[Verse 11]

Since you been gone

I stay in the tavern every night

When? Every night

When? (Every night)

When? Every night

Every night

[Verse 12]

When? (Every night)

Every night

Every night

(Every night)

[Verse 13]

Every night

Every night

(Every night)

Every night
