"Mississippi Mud" lyrics - BOBBY DARIN
[Bobby:]
Hey, John, you evah been to Mississippi?
[Johnny:]
No, man, but I sure would like to visit down there.
[Bobby:]
You would?
Well, I'll tell you what then, let us hop on a plane and went.
[Johnny:]
O-kay, I hear it's very nice.
[Bobby:]
It is, it is.
[Johnny:]
When the sun goes down
The tide goes out
The people gather '?˜round
And they all begin to shout.
[Bobby:]
What?
[Johnny:]
Hey, hey, Uncle Dud
It's a treat to beat your feet
On the Mississippi Mud.
It's a treat to beat your feet
On the Mississippi Mud.
[Bobby:]
And what a dance do they do
Lordy,... how I'm tellin' you
Why, they don't need no band
They keep time by clappin their hand.
[Both:]
Just as happy as a cow
Chewin' on a cud
When the people beat their feet
On the Mississippi Mud.
[Bobby:]
Lordy, how they play it
Goodness, how they sway it
There's Uncle George and cousin Jack
Look at those fools peckin' on their back.
[Johnny:]
What joy!
That music thrills me.
[Bobby:]
It do.
[Johnny:]
Boy,... it nearly kills me
Sister Kate hollers, "Son!"
You sure get muddy
But, it's mighty good fun
[Both:]
When the sun goes down
The tide goes out
The people gather round
And they all begin to shout.
Hey, Hey, Uncle Dud
It's a treat to beat your feet
On the Mississippi Mud
It's a treat to beat your feet
On the Mississippi Mud.
[Bobby:]
What a dance do they do
[Both:]
Lordy,... how I'm tellin' you
[Johnny:]
They don't need no band
[Bobby:]
They don't?
[Johnny:]
They keep time by clappin' their hand
[Bobby:]
I see.
[Johnny:]
Just as happy as a cow
Chewing on a cud
When the people beat their feet...
[Bobby:]
Yeah! Yeah!
[Johnny:]
And the people clap their hand
On the M I double S I double S I double P I Mud.
[Bobby:]
An "A" for spelling.
