That Dood It

Lyrics

[Intro] Now here's a story about A great big old giant Ooh! My money My honey And me [Verse 1] I been digging all those stories about the West the cats have told Me and my baby cut out there, dig us up a mess of gold The minute we find a buried treasure, I looked up and see A great big old eight-foot giant looking dead on me [Chorus] And that dood it, you know, and that dood it I didn't have no more eyes for digging up no more gold No, no, no, no, no, no! [Verse 2] I grabbed what I had in one hand and my baby by the other A giant grabbed my coattail and said, "Don't you go another further" I ripped off my coat when I was shaking the scene But what really got my goat was when I heard my baby scream [Chorus] An'd that dood it, ooh-wee! And that dood it Because I am not going nowhere, and leave my baby there No, no, no, no, no, no! [Verse 3] I put on my brakes and stopped dead in my tracks As much as I hated the idea, I went crawling on back I said, "Look-a here, Mister Giant," as I raised slowly on one knee "I'll do anything you say. Hand my baby to me." [Chorus] And that dood it, mm-hmm, and that dood it He said, "You bust that loose, and I'll set your baby free." No, no, no, no, no, no! [Verse 4] I said, "I'll make you a proposition. It's up to you to choose It's either your money or your honey. One of the two you'll have to lose." I said, "Mister Giant, I want to thank you for taking a load off my mind But when it come to choosin' between my money—and my honey I take my money—what I'm sayin'?—I mean my honey everytime." [Chorus] And that dood it, you know, and that dood it Now the giant got the money and I got my honey, and everybody's feeling fine No, no, no, no, no, no!
