FLIP, FLOP AND FLY (Charles E. Calhoun - Lou Willie Turner) BIG JOE TURNER (Atlantic 1053, 1955) Now, when I get the blues, I get me a rockin' chair When I get the blues, I get me a rockin' chair Well, the blues over dig me Gonna rock right away from here Now, when i get lonesome I jump on the telephone Now, when i get lonesome I jump on the telephone I call my babe, tell I'm on my way back home Now, flip, flop, and fly, I don't care if I die Now, flip, flop, and fly, I don't care if I die Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye Give me one more kiss, hold it on long-long time Give me one more kiss, hold it on long-long time Now, love me babe, 'til the feeling hits my head like wine Here comes my babe, flashing a new gold tooth Here comes my babe, flashing a new gold tooth Well, she's so small, she can bumble in a pay phone booth Now, flip, flop, and fly, I don't care if I die Now, flip, flop, and fly, I don't care if I die Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye I'm like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump I'm like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump I got so many women, I don't know which way to jump Now, flip, flop, and fly, I don't care if I die Now, flip, flop, and fly, I don't care if I die Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye Oh my! |
