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
And 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
'Cause she's so small, she 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 women, 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
