Van Morrison Flip, Flop And Fly
[Verse 1]
When I get the blues, I get me a rockin' chair
When I get the blues, I get me a rockin' chair
Well, if the blues overtake gonna rock me away from here
When I get lonesome, I jump on the telephone
When I get lonesome, I jump on the telephone
Well, I call my baby, say I'm on my way back home
[Chorus]
Now flip, flop and fly
You know the reason why
Said flip, flop and fly
Please don't you make me cry
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye
[Verse 2]
I'm like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump
I'm like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump
Got so many women, I don't know know which way to jump
[Chorus]
So flip, flop and fly
You know the reason why
Said flip, flop and fly
You're gonna get me high
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye
[Verse 3]
Give me one kiss, baby, hold it a long long time
Give me just one kiss, hold it a long long time
I wanna feel that kiss go to my head like wine
[Chorus]
Flip, flop and fly
You know the reason why
I said flip, flop and fly
I'm reachin' for the sky
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye
Said flip, flop and fly
You know the reason why
Said flip, flop and fly
You're gonna get me high
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye
[Verse 4]
Here comes my baby, flashin' her new gold tooth
Here comes my baby, flashin' her new gold tooth
But she looks so good now standin' in a payphone booth
[Chorus]
Flip, flop and fly
You know the reason why
Flip, flop and fly
Don't you leave me high and dry
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye
Flip, flop and fly
You know the reason why
Flip, flop and fly
Yeah, you're gonna get me high
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye
Flip, flop and fly
