Well, when I get the blues, I get me a rockin' chair
When I get the blues, I get me a rockin' chair
Oh, well the blues gonna take me and rock right away from here
Now when I get lonesome, I jump on the telephone
Yeah, when I get lonesome, I hop on the telephone
Oh well, I call my baby, tell her ""On my way back home,""
And I'll flip, flop and fly
I don't care if I die
I'm gonna flip, flop and fly
I don't care if I die
Well, don't ever leave me
Don't ever say goodbye
Here comes my baby flashin' her new gold tooth
Yes, here comes my baby flashin' her new gold tooth
Oh, she's so small, she can rumble in a telephone booth
I'm like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump
I'm like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump
'Cause I got so many women and I don't know which way to jump
So I'll flip, flop and fly
I don't care if I die
I'm gonna flip, flop and fly
I don't care if I die
Oh well, don't ever leave me
Don't ever say goodbye"
