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
    B                             A                    E
When the blues overtake me, gonna rock right away from here

Now when I get lonesome I jump on the telephone
    A                                  E
Now when I get lonesome I jump on the telephone
        B                       A                 E
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

Here come my baby, flashin' a new gold tooth
A                                      E
Here come my baby, flashin' a new gold tooth
B                            A              E
She's so small she can mambo in a pay phone booth

Chorus

Verse

       E
Like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump
        A                                       E
Like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump
       B              A                        E
I got so many women I don't know which way to jump
