GIVE A LITTLE BIT

f.t. talton/peer music/ascap

the lady’s at the back door
lookin’ for the kid
everybody’s doin’ all the things they always did
bessie got a hairdo
So, judy got one too
freddie got a hoddy toddy like everybody do
give a little bit, take a little bit
give a little bit more
give a little bit, take a little bit
give a little bit more
give a little bit, take a little bit
give a little bit more
find out what this shakin’ is for
I ran into old johnny, lockin’ up the store
he walked down to the river
and swam it, shore to shore
show me that shot of billie, she sure loves to pose
how’d she get her legs up there
what happened to her clothes?

gimme one more minute
gimme one more dime
shake it on out to kansas city
I’ll show you a real good time
the river’s overflowing, the banks are all closed up
my pupils and my eyelids ain’t never really shut
give a little bit, take a little bit
give a little bit more
give a little bit, take a little bit
give a little bit more
give a little bit, take a little bit
give a little bit more
find out what this shakin’ is for…
