My Mind Keeps Movin’

Lyrics
[Verse] I walk into a restaurant with chicken on my mind Look at the menu, I want roast beef and wine Waitress comes, I order baked beans and bread When she brings it, I want ham and eggs instead [Chorus] Because my mind keeps a-movin', bouncin' and a-groovin' Flippin' floppin' every which way From minute to minute If my mind ain't really in it Never know just what I'm do or say [Verse] Sometimes I wake up happy Sometimes I wake up mean Sometimes I wake up missin' somethin' I ain't seen Might wake up wasted And I might wake up dead Might wake up and look around And jump back into bed [Chorus] Because my mind keeps a-movin', bouncin' and a-groovin' Flippin' floppin' every which way From minute to minute If my mind ain't really in it Never know just what I do or say [Verse] Sittin' home at midnight thinkin' 'bout Marie Go to the I dial Carol-Lee I say "come by, baby, just as fast as you can!" When she gets there I'm thinkin' 'bout Ann! [Chorus] Because my mind keeps a-movin', bouncin' and a-groovin' Flippin' floppin' every which way From minute to minute If my mind ain't really in it Never know just what I do or say [Verse] Fly off to Paris just to get away from home Get off in London and I grab a boat for Rome Go to St. Louis, be in St. Paul Or else take a trip and go no place at all! [Chorus] Because my mind keeps a-movin', bouncin' and a-groovin' Flippin' floppin' every which way From minute to minute If my mind ain't really in it Never know just what I do or say [Verse] I go to a psychiatrist to straighten my head Then I decide I need a chiropractor instead Put salt in my coffee and ketchup in my tea Only dig a chick that don't dig me! [Chorus] Because my mind keeps a-movin', bouncin' and a-groovin' Flippin' floppin' every which way From minute to minute If my mind ain't really in it Never know just what I do or say [Verse] Sometimes I don't shave and I look kinda weird So I shave off my hair and then I grow a beard Shave off my beard dye my eyebrows green Play myself a song upon a tambourine [Verse] Because my mind keeps a-movin', bouncin' and a-groovin' Flippin' floppin' every which way From minute to minute If my mind ain't really in it Never know just what I do or say
