Lyrics

Intro x6 (drum attack) organ x6
Hey momma don't you treat me wrong
Come and love ya daddy all night long (alright now-hey hey-alright)

See the girl with the diamond ring
She knows how to shake that thing (alright now-hey hey)
Tell ya momma
Tel ya pa
Gonna send ya back to arkansas
Oh yes maam - if you don't do right - if you don't do right

When ya see me in a misery
Come o' here and sit by me (oh yeah yeah - alright - alright)

(Instrumental passages - country style) high tansion drums & slide guitar

See the girl with the red dress on
She can do the "birdland" all night long yeah yeah
- what I say - alright - well

Tell me what I say "right now" (back vocals :tell me what I say) x 6 times

Cos I wanna know (back vocals :baby I wanna know )
Baby I wanna know (back vocals :baby I wanna know )

Tel me one more time (back vocals :just a one more time )
Just a one more time, right now (back vocals :just a one more time )
Tel me one more time (back vocals :just a one more time )
