Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I said shotgun, shoot him 'fore he run now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the jerk, now
[Verse 2]
Hey, put on your red dress
And then you go downtown, now
I said, buy yourself a shotgun now
We gonna break it down, baby, now
We're gonna load it up, baby, now
And then you shoot him 'fore he run, now
[Verse 3]
I said shotgun, shoot him 'fore he run now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the jerk, now, hey!
[Verse 4]
Shotgun, shoot him 'fore he run, now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the jerk, now
[Verse 5]
Hey! Put on your high-heeled shoes
I said we're going down here to listen to 'em play the blues
We're gonna dig potatoes
We're gonna pick tomatoes
[Verse 6]
I said, shotgun
Shoot him 'fore he runs now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the jerk, now
[Verse 7]
I said it's twine time
I said it's twine time
I said it's twine time, hey! What did I say?
