[Verse 1]
Come on, boys, and play this blues
I wanna see just what you can do
I've gotten old gate here to swing to and fro
And I let all the people hear the show

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Ah, that ain't no way for an old gate to move
It sounds too rusty and it's not in the groove
Let's play it so hot that it almost singes
Come on, we'll swing that old gate right off the hinges

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
You gave me the gate and I'm swingin'
I'm syncopating with someone new
You thought that I'd cry but I'm singing
This oughta teach you a thing or two
Ah, plop on down, my sweetie pie
And meet the new big apple of my eye
You gave me the gate and I'm swingin'
You had it coming, you rascal you
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
You know, I'm all rubber and you're all glue
All those mean things you do will bounce right back onto you

[Instrumental]
