1
Well, me and my baby was a-walkin' down the road
2
Just a-hoppin' along like two little toads
3
I looked down at her; I said, ‽What can we do?â€
4
She said, ‽Let's go someplace where we can bop to the bluesâ€
5
I said, ‽I don't know a place where we can do such a thing"
6
She said, ‽I know that place, and, man, it's just a dream
7
It's just a little spot on the outside of town
8
Where we can really pick 'em up and put 'em downâ€
9
So we went yeah, we were gone, gone along gone
10
And I'll tell you all about it in the very next verse of my song
11
Well we went to a place called Everybody's
12
There I met a little chick called the Tennessee Toddy
13
The reason she was called the Tennessee Toddy
14
Was that she was all legs with a little bitty body
15
But that cat could go, yeah, she was gone, gone along gone
16
Well I'll tell you all about it in the very next verse of my song
17
Well, she was long and lean like a green string bean
18
Calm and collected and cool and keen!
19
She was all of this and a whole lot more
20
When my baby saw me watching her, she threw me out the door
21
And we were gone, yeah, we were gone, along gone
22
Well, I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song
23
Well I took my baby home and she said, ‽Good nightâ€
24
She said, ‽Be real good and sleep real tight!â€
25
But I rushed right back to Everybody's
26
'Cause I had to get acquainted with the Tennessee Toddy
27
So I left, yeah, I was gone, gone along gone
28
And I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song.
29
I was back there jumpin' with Toddy at three
30
When in walked a gent twice as big as me
31
He looked real mean and mad and sore
32
He made for me and I made for the door
33
Just a-runnin', yeah, I was gone, gone along gone
34
Well I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song
35
Well, I didn't know that Toddy had a man of her own
36
Made out of nothin' but a muscle and bone
37
I know I'd rather have a baby instead
38
But that big ape would knocks on my head
39
So I left there, yeah I was gone, gone long gone
40
Well there ain't no more so this is the end of my song
