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, Lets go someplace where we can bop to the blues
I said, I dont know a place where we can do such a thing" She said, I know that place, and, man, its just a dream Its just a little spot on the outside of town Where we can really pick em up and put em down
So we went yeah, we were gone, gone along gone And Ill tell you all about it in the very next verse of my song
Well we went to a place called Everybodys 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
But that cat could go, yeah, she was gone, gone along gone Well Ill tell you all about it in the very next verse of my song
Well, 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
And we were gone, yeah, we were gone, along gone Well, Ill tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song
Well I took my baby home and she said, Good night She said, Be real good and sleep real tight! But I rushed right back to Everybodys Cause I had to get acquainted with the Tennessee Toddy
So I left, yeah, I was gone, gone along gone And Ill tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song.
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
Just a-runnin, yeah, I was gone, gone along gone Well Ill tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song
Well, I didn't know that Toddy had a man of her own Made out of nothin' but a muscle and bone I know I'd rather have a baby instead But that big ape would knocks on my head
So I left there, yeah I was gone, gone long gone Well there ain't no more so this is the end of my song
