Mean Molly Blues

Listen on Soundcloud

I got the pick me up and change me,
Pat me dry and re-arrange me,
Tired of layin’ round here,
Doin’ nothin’ blues
I’ve been in my crib all mornin’
And I’m givin’ you a warnin’
That you better move me someplace
To a brand new view

Do somethin’ Mama, do somethin’
Give me a change of scene!
Do somethin’ Mama, do somethin’
Your pretty Molly’s feelin’ pretty mean!

Why don’t you put me in the buggy,
Tuck me in all nice and snuggy,
Walk me round the block until I fall asleep?
Or put me in the kiddie pack
And carry me up on your back?
I promise, pretty mama,
I won’t make a peep!

Do somethin’ Mama, do somethin’
Tell me a story, please
Do somethin’ Mama, do somethin’
I’m down on my bended knees!

I want to practice throwin’ all my toys and
Try out all these funny noises
Learn to wiggle from my tummy onto my back
I’m your little baby boomer
Creepin’ cross the livin’ room
Your little punkin’s hungry
Won’t you give me a snack?

Do somethin’ Mama, do somethin’
Feed me before I scream! Ice cream!
Do somethin’ Mama, do somethin’
You and me make a great team!
