Flip Flop and Fly

Artist: Ellis Hall

Album: Chicken Run

Song Length: 2:15

George's Thoughts: Casa Musica does a great job of taking this famous Blues Brothers song and making it a lively Jive selection. The version from the "Chicken Run" soundtrack is just a little too fast, though DJs could slow it down. The strict-tempo version from Casa Musica is very danceable. Lots of fun.

Song Lyrics:

When I get the blues gonna get me in a rockin' chair
When I get the blues gonna get me in a rockin' chair
When the blues overtake, gonna rock rock away from here

Here comes my baby, flashing a new gold tooth
Here comes my baby, flashing a new gold tooth
If she shows more, she can rock home with the bacon too
That's not true!

[Chorus:]
Flip, flop and fly
I don't care if I die
Flip, flop and fly
I don't care if I die
Don't ever leave me
Don't ever say goodbye

Give me one more kiss and hold it a long long time
Give me one more kiss and hold it a long long time
Love me baby till the feeling hits my head feels like wine
So fine so fine so glad that you're mine

[Chorus]

Don't ever leave me
Don't ever say goodbye

Don't ever leave me
Don't ever say goodbye
