Bobby Darin - Mississippi Mud - Текст песни

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.
