[Verse 1]
Well, they moved on down
And they crawled around

[Chorus]
Walkin' sideways
Sideway walkin'
Give me the blues

[Verse 2]
And you start to scratch
When they start to hatch

[Chorus]
Walkin' sideways
Sideway walkin'
Give me the blues

[Bridge]
Ooh, but when they start to bite
Then it's time you saw the light
For an appointment
I know
Before you start to scream
That's when you apply the cream
Blues ointment
(Mulligan)
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
Well, the doctor said
"We got to make 'em dead"

[Chorus]
Walkin' sideways
Sideway walkin'
Give me the blues

[Bridge]
And when you start to scream
That's when you apply the cream
Blues ointment
Yeah, and when they start to itch
You go out and you take the bitch
For an appointment

[Verse 4]
Well you rub it on
And you rub it in

[Chorus]
Stops 'em walkin'
Sideway walkin'
Gives them the blues
Sideway walkin'
Sideway walkin'
They've got the blues
[Outro]
Give them the blues
They got the blues
Give them the blues
