Screamin’ Jay Hawkins
Yellow Coat
[Verse 1]
A forty gallon hat and some polka-dot shoes
Tomato pickin' onion juice to drive away my blues
A bright red leather suit, a trip in a motorboat
And the strike I caused on the waterfront when I fell out my yellow coat
[Chorus]
Hey now, stick with it, aw baby, don't quit it
You know you're bound to get it
Yes sir, made outta goat skin, frog skin
And laid out in milk and gin
[Verse 2]
The people quit the scene like the devil was loose
The clouds turned green and let down lemon juice
What walks on two feet and looks like a goat?
That crazy Screamin' Jay in a bright yellow coat
[Chorus]
Hey now, stick with it, baby, baby don't cha quit it
Aw you're bound to get it
Yes sir, made outta goat skin, frog skin
And laid out in milk and gin
[Verse 3]
I took a plane out Midwest to see my Uncle Joe
We ran into some real bad weather, ice, rain and snow
Fifty million bulldogs, twenty mountain goats
All gathered 'round at sundown to see my yellow coat
[Chorus]
Hey now, stick with it, no, no, no, no, don't cha dare quit it
Hey, you're bound to get it
Made outta goat skin, frog skin
And laid out in milk and gin
