When I get the blues, get me a rockin' chair
When I get the blues, get me a rockin' chair
Well, if the blues overtake, gonna rock me away from here
When I get lonesome, I jump on the telephone
When I get lonesome, I jump on the telephone
Well, I call my baby, say I'm on my way back home
Flip, flop and fly
You know the reason why
Said flip, flop and fly
Please, don't you make me cry
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
Got so many women, I don't know which way to jump
Well so flip, flop and fly
You know the reason why
Said flip, flop and fly
You're gonna get me high
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye
Give me one kiss, baby, and hold it a long long time
Give me just one kiss, hold it a long long time
I wanna feel that kiss go to my head like wine
Well flip, flop and fly
You know the reason why
Said flip, flop and fly
I'm reaching for the sky
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye
Said flip, flop and fly
You know the reason why
Said flip, flop and fly
You're gonna get me high
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye
Here comes my baby, flashin' her new gold tooth
Here comes my baby, flashin' her new gold tooth
Well she looks so good now standing in a pay phone booth
Flip, flop and fly
You know the reason why
Flip, flop and fly
Don't you leave me high and dry
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye
Flip, flop and fly
You know the reason why
Flip, flop and fly
You're gonna get me high
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye
Flip, flop and fly
