Tennessee Toddy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, me and my baby was a-walkin' down the road Just a-hoppin' along like two little toads I looked down at her; I said, "What can we do?" She said, "Let's go someplace where we can bop to the blues" [Verse 2] I said, "I didn't know a place where we can do such a thing" She said, "I know a place, and, man, it's just a dream" It's just a little spot on the outside of town Where we can really pick 'em up and put 'em down [Chorus] So we went, yeah we was gone gone long gone I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of the song [Verse 3] So we went to a place called Everybody's There I met a little chick called the Tennessee Toddy The reason she was called the Tennessee Toddy Was that she was all legs with a little bitty body [Chorus] But that cat could go, yeah, she was gone, gone, long gone Well I'll tell you all about it in the very next verse of my song [Verse 4] She was long and lean like a green string bean Calm and collected and cool and keen She was all of this and a whole lot more When my baby saw me watching her, she threw me out the door [Chorus] And we were gone, yeah, we were gone, long gone And I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song [Verse 5] I took my baby home and she said, "Good night" She said, "Be real good and sleep real tight" I rushed right back to Everybody's 'Cause I had to get acquainted with the Tennessee Toddy [Chorus] So we left there, yeah, I was gone, gone, long gone Well I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song [Verse 6] Well I was back there jumpin' with Toddy at three When in walked a gent twice as big as me He looked real mean and mad and sore He made for me and I made for the door [Chorus] Just a-runnin', yeah, I was gone, gone, long gone Well I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song [Verse 7] Well I didn't know the Toddy had a man of her own Made outta nothing but muscle and bone I know I'd rather have baby instead But that big ape put knots on my head [Chorus] So I left there, yeah, I was gone, gone, long gone And there ain't no more, so this is the end of my song
