My Mind Keeps Movin'

I walk into a restaurant with chicken on my mind. Look at the menu, I want roast beef and wine. Waitress comes, I order baked beans and bread. When she brings it, I want ham and eggs instead. Because my mind keeps a-movin', bouncin' and a-groovin', Flippin' floppin' every which way. From minute to minute If my mind ain't really in it, Never know just what I'm do or say. Sometimes I wake up happy. Sometimes I wake up mean . Sometimes I wake up missin' somethin' I ain't seen. Might wake up wasted, And I might wake up dead. Might wake up and look around And jump back into bed. Because my mind keeps a-movin', bouncin' and a-groovin', Flippin' floppin' every which way. From minute to minute If my mind ain't really in it, Never know just what I do or say. Sittin' home at midnight thinkin' 'bout Marie. Go to the I 'phone Carol-Lee . I say "Come by , baby, just as fast as you can!" When she gets there I'm thinkin' 'bout Ann! Because my mind keeps a-movin', bouncin' and a-groovin', Flippin' floppin' every which way . From minute to minute If my mind ain't really in it, Never know just what I do or say. Fly away to Paris just to get away from home. Get off in London and I grab a boat for Rome. Go to St Louis. Be in St Paul. Or else take a trip and go no place at all! Because my mind keeps a-movin', bouncin' and a-groovin' Flippin' floppin' every which way. From minute to minute If my mind ain't really in it, Never know just what I do or say. I go to a psychiatrist to straighten my head. Then I decide I need a chiropractor instead. Put salt in my coffee and ketchup in my tea. Only dig a chick that don't dig me! Because my mind keeps a-movin', bouncin' and a-groovin' Flippin' floppin' every which way. From minute to minute If my mind ain't really in it, Never know just what I do or say. Sometimes I don't shave and I look kinda weird. So I shave off my hair and I grow a beard. Shave off my beard dye my eyebrows green. Play myself a song upon a tambourine. Because my mind keeps a-movin', bouncin' and a-groovin' Flippin' floppin' every which way. From minute to minute If my mind ain't really in it, Never know just what I do or say. Dahdali-doo
