Go Back

Flip, Flop & Fly

Words & Music by Charles Calhoun, Lou Willie Turner

I'm like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stomp
I'm like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stomp
I get so many women I don't know which way to jump

Well I said flip flop and fly I don't care if I die
I said flip flop and fly I don't care if I die
Don't ever leave me and don't ever say goodbye
