Strut That Thing

Woke up this morning feeling bad

Thinking 'bout the times I once have had

You went out, stayed all night

Do you think that's treating me right?

'Cause you should not do it, you dog

Shouldn't do it, you dog, shouldn't do it, you dog

I'm telling these lovers

How to be strutting that thing night and day

Had your mama doodling around for 'em a while

Shook a dozen ribs down this aisle

Deacon Jones gave 'em to pray

Too much religion is what have had

Go to heaven, gotta stop this stuff

'Cause you been strutting that thing

Night and day, night and day

I mean, there's Jenny Lou

Out there strutting that thing night and day

Getting sick and tired the way you do

Kind mama, going to poison you

Sprinkle goofer dust round your bed

Wake some morning, find your own self dead

'Cause you should not do it, you dog

Shouldn't do it, you dog, shouldn't do it, you dog

I'm telling these lovers

How to be strutting that thing night and day

Yeah, beat it out

Oh boy

There's a lady by the name Miss Lou

Shook her thing till she caught the 'flu

Satisfied, she jumped in bed

She spoke and spoke like this

Shake your shoulder, can't shake your feet,

Shake nothing, mama, but your wicked knees

'Cause you should not do it, you dog

Shouldn't do it, you dog, shouldn't do it, you dog

I'm telling these lovers

How to be strutting that thing night and day

Oh, beat it out

Take and shake it, Lord, You hang it on the wall

Out the window, catch it 'fore it fall

Stop awhile shimmy if it's all night long

Times I think you got your habits on

'Cause you should not do it, you dog

Shouldn't do it, you dog, shouldn't do it, you, oh

I'm telling these lovers

How to be strutting that thing night and day
