[Verse 1]
Well, me and my baby was a-walkin' down the road
Just a-hoppin' along like two little toads
I looked down at her; I said, "What can we do?"
She said, "Let's go someplace where we can bop to the blues"

[Verse 2]
I said, "I didn't know a place where we can do such a thing"
She said, "I know a place, and, man, it's just a dream"
It's just a little spot on the outside of town
Where we can really pick 'em up and put 'em down

[Chorus]
So we went, yeah we was gone gone long gone
I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of the song

[Verse 3]
So we went to a place called Everybody's
There I met a little chick called the Tennessee Toddy
The reason she was called the Tennessee Toddy
Was that she was all legs with a little bitty body

[Chorus]
But that cat could go, yeah, she was gone, gone, long gone
Well I'll tell you all about it in the very next verse of my song
[Verse 4]
She was long and lean like a green string bean
Calm and collected and cool and keen
She was all of this and a whole lot more
When my baby saw me watching her, she threw me out the door

[Chorus]
And we were gone, yeah, we were gone, long gone
And I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song

[Verse 5]
I took my baby home and she said, "Good night"
She said, "Be real good and sleep real tight"
I rushed right back to Everybody's
'Cause I had to get acquainted with the Tennessee Toddy

[Chorus]
So we left there, yeah, I was gone, gone, long gone
Well I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song

[Verse 6]
Well I was back there jumpin' with Toddy at three
When in walked a gent twice as big as me
He looked real mean and mad and sore
He made for me and I made for the door
[Chorus]
Just a-runnin', yeah, I was gone, gone, long gone
Well I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song

[Verse 7]
Well I didn't know the Toddy had a man of her own
Made outta nothing but muscle and bone
I know I'd rather have baby instead
But that big ape put knots on my head

[Chorus]
So I left there, yeah, I was gone, gone, long gone
And there ain't no more, so this is the end of my song
