[Intro]
Mmmph!

[Verse 1]
I'm goin' back to Chicago
That's the last place my baby stayed, oh he checked
I'm packin' up my bags
Gonna leave this whole town right away, that's what I say

[Hook]
I've got to find that girl if I have to hitch hike 'round the world
I hitch hike, mmm

[Verse 2]
"Chicago soon", that's what the sign
On the highway read, I hitch hike
I'm a-gonna keep movin' 'til I get down to that street called
Six and third, I hitch hike

[Hook]
I've got to find that girl if I have to hitch hike 'round the world
I hitch hike, come on

[Chorus]
I hitch hike, I hitch hike, a-baby
I hitch hike, I hitch hike, a-baby
I hitch hike, I hitch hike, yeah, hitch hike
Do the hitch hike, ow!
[Verse 3]
I'm goin' to St. Louis, but my next stop might be L.A
Mark what I say-a, huh
Got no a-money in my pocket now
I'm a-gonna have to hitch hikе all the way, that's what I say

[Hook]
I've got to find that girl if I have to hitch hikе 'round the world
Watch me hitch hike, y'all, ow!

[Chorus]
Come on, now hitch hike
I hitch hike, a-baby
I hitch hike, I hitch hike, a-baby
I hitch hike, I hitch hike
Yeah, hitch hike, do the hitch-ow!

[Outro]
Now hitch hike, I hitch hike, a-baby
I hitch hike, I hitch hike, I hitch hike, I hitch hike
Yeah, hitch hike, ow!
