Lyrics
So I got the red shoes to stand
I cannot stand to see you scoop that man
Tell me, mama, can I scoop for you?
Lay down to it, pop
Ah, if you don't believe I can scoop, you're right
Take me to your house and let me spend the night
Come on, baby, can I scoop you?
Couldn't let you do that, baby
Oh, mama, let me scoop for you
Pretty mama, let me scoop for you
Tell me, baby, can I scoop for you?
Oh, boy
Ah, scoop me, mama, 'til you drive me wild
Scoop me, honey, in the lady's style
Come on, baby, can I scoop you?
I've got that 1933 style, papa
Ah, three vials of liquor, four vials of gin
You can't scoop, you can't come in
Come on, mama, can I scoop you?
Oh, boy, you wronged my number
Well, mama, can I scoop for you?
Pretty mama, can I scoop for you?
Tell me, baby, can I scoop for you, scoop for you?
Sometimes, maybe
Ah, baby, let me scoop for you
Pretty mama, let me scoop for you
Come on, honey, let your daddy scoop for you
Oh, man, oh, man, I want your daughter
Scooping out daily for a dollar and a quarter
Come on, baby, can I scoop for you?
More than that now, baby
Ah, you scooped none since way last spring
Damn, pretty mama, can you scoop that thing?
Tell me, baby, can I scoop for you?
Ain't that a sin and a shame?
Oh, mama, let me scoop for you
Sugar, let me scoop for you
Come on, baby, can I scoop for you?
Oh, baby, that's me
I ain't scooped none since way last fall
Can't you shake it like a cannonball?
Come on, baby, can I scoop for you?
Come on, let's go see
Oh, sugar, let me scoop for you
Baby, can I scoop for you?
Come on, mama, can I scoop for you? Maybe
Ah, pretty mama, can I scoop for you?
Sugar, can I scoop for you?
Come on, baby, can I scoop for you?
If you know how I want it, dear
Why, I'm pinching on the table and the apple's on the shelf
Can't do the scoop, mama, by myself
Come on, baby, can I scoop for you?
Two makes the cheese more combining, daddy
Well, let's scoop, baby
That's the way I like to do it, is scoop
Oh, God
I want to do the scoop one more time
And I ain't gonna scoop no more, ah, come on
I just don't like to scoop
It's only every night
Pray, God, some booze for us
Ah, baby, let me scoop for you
Sugar, let me scoop for you
Come on, mama, can I scoop for you?
Scoop for you
