Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye.
Give me one more kiss, hold it a long, long time.
Give me one more kiss, hold it a long, long time.
Now love me, baby, till the feeling hits my head like wine.
Here comes my baby, flashin' a new gold tooth.
Here comes my baby, flashing a new gold tooth.
Well she's so small she can rhumba in a pay phone booth.
(refrain)
I'm like a Mississippi bulldog, sittin' on a hollow stump.
I'm like a Mississippi bulldog, sittin' on a hollow stump.
I got so many women, I don't know which way to jump..
