When I get the blues I get me a rockin' chair When I get the blues I get me a rockin' chair If the blues ever take 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 I call my baby and tell him I'm on my way back home Now flip, flop and fly I don't care if I die I don't care if I die Don't ever leave me don't ever say good-bye Here comes my baby flashing a new gold tooth Here comes my baby flashing a new gold tooth He's so skinny he can mambo in a payphone booth Give me on last kiss and hold it a long, long time Give me on last kiss and hold it a long, long time 'Til the feeling over comes me with a feelin' in my head like wine Now flip, flop and fly I don't care if I die I don't care if I die Don't ever leave me don't ever say good-bye
