Now when I get the blues, I get me a rockin' chair 
When I get the blues, I get me a rockin' chair 
Well, if the blues overtake me gonna rock right away from here 
Now when I get lonesome, I jump on the telephone 
When I get lonesome, I jump on the telephone 
I call my baby, tell her 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 a long long time 
Give me one more kiss, hold it a long long time 
Now love me baby, till the feelin' hits my head like wine 
Here comes my baby, flashin' her new gold tooth 
Here comes my baby, flashin' her new gold tooth 
Well she's so small, she can mambo 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 
Ah, 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 
Now, don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye 
Oh my!
