Keep on truckin', Mama, truckin' my blues away
Keep on truckin', Mama, truckin' both night and day
    I heard the rooster say to the hen
    "I ain't had no lovin' since I don't know when"
Keep on truckin', Mama, truckin' my blues away

Keep on truckin', Mama, truckin' my blues away
Keep on truckin', Mama, truckin' both night and day
    I heard the crawdaddy say to the eel
    "The more you wiggle, the better I feel"
Keep on truckin', Mama, truckin' my blues away

Keep on truckin', Mama, truckin' my blues away
Keep on truckin', Mama, truckin' both night and day
    I heard the rhinoceros say to the flea
    "Why's everybody always pickin' on me?"
Keep on truckin', Mama, truckin' my blues away

Why do you do me like you do me, Mama, 
        when you shouldn't do me like you do?
How come you do me like you do me, Mama, 
        when you shouldn't do me like you do?
    I got one-two-three-four-five-six reasons
    If you doublecross me it's an act of treason
Take it slow and easy, if you want to get along with me

Hey, hey, baby, your Southern can is mine
Hey, hey, sugar, your Southern can is mine
    It's ashes to ashes and dust to dust
    If you leave it in the rain you know it's gonna rust
So bring it on down to my house, baby, 
        th'ain't nobody home but me

Well, hot tamales and they're red hot, she's got 'em for sale
Hot tamales and they're ooh red hot, yeah, she's got 'em for sale
    I got a woman, she's six foot eight
    She sleeps downtown on the subway grate
Hot tamales and they're red hot, yeah, she's got 'em for sale

Now who blew the wind in my doughnut, 
        sure don't resemble me
Now who blew the wind in my doughnut 
        under the yam-yam tree?
    I like my doughnuts nice and brown
    Don't forget to turn your damper down
Now who blew the wind in my doughnut, 
        sure don't resemble me

Hey, hey, baby, you know you got the best of me
Well hey, hey, darlin', you know you got the best of me
    Well, you can do what you do and you can say what you say
    But keep on truckin' my blues away
Hey, hey, baby, you know you got the best of me

Keep on truckin', Mama, truckin' my blues away
Keep on truckin', Mama, truckin' both night and day
    I heard the oyster say to the squirrel
    "C'mon-a my house and I'll show you my pearl"
Keep on truckin', Mama, truckin' my blues away

Keep on truckin', Mama, truckin' my blues away
Keep on truckin', Mama, truckin' both night and day
    I heard the wiener dog say to the cow
    "I know why but I don't know how"
Keep on truckin', Mama, truckin' my blues away

Yeah, keep on truckin', Mama, truckin' my blues away
Keep on truckin', Mama, truckin' both night and day
    I heard the nightingale say to the crow
    "You keep flyin', I gotta go"
Keep on truckin', Mama, truckin' my blues away
    I say
Truckin' my blues away
    Oh yeah
Truckin' them lonely blues away
 
 
 

    There's some old stuff in this one -- half-a-dozen songs that are really one song.  There's some new stuff, too -- our contribution to the stewpot.  There's some stuff that's borrowed -- well, let's be frank, swiped.  And there's some stuff that's blue -- but not so raunchy that your mom wouldn't laugh at it.  If she won't, trade her in for a new one who's more fun.
