Lyrics
Well now when I get the blues, gonna get me a rockin' chair
Well now when I get the blues, gonna get me a rockin' chair
When the blues overtake me, gonna rock right away from here
Now when I get lonesome I get on the telephone
Now when I get lonesome I get on the telephone
Well, I call my baby, tell her I'm on my way back home
Well, flip, flop & fly I don't care if I die Flip, flop & fly
I don't care if I die
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye
Give me one last kiss; hold it a long, long time
Give me one last kiss; hold it a long, long time
Well, hold that kiss 'til I feel it in my head like wine
Well, here come my baby, flashin' a new gold tooth
Well, here come my baby, flashin' a new gold tooth
Well, he's so small he can mambo in a pay phone booth
Well, flip, flop & fly I don't care if I die Flip, flop & fly
I don't care if I die Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye!
Well, like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump
Well, like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump
I got so many men I don't know which way to jump
Well, flip, flop & fly I don't care if I die
Flip, flop & fly I don't care if I die
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye
