Jerry Lee Lewis — Sweet Thang

Well I slipped out of the house about sundown While mama was a washin' her hair And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come lookin' for me When she finds that I'm not there And if she catches her sweet thang runnin' around I know there'll be the devil to pay She'll come blowin' like a cyclone right through that door And I can hear exactly what she'll say Well has anybody here see my sweet thang? I got a notion he'll be headed this a way 'Cause when my sweet thang is out tomocattin' around He finds a sandbox like this to play I wanna tell all you barroom roses If my sweet thang does have a bite You'd better take my advice and if you'll blink more than twice You'd better have somethin' in your eyes Well I gave my baby all my money on payday Except a little she don't know that I've got 'Cause there's a cute little waitress at the corner cafe She seems to like me quite a lot While we were sittin' in the back booth a havin' a talk She believed in every thing I said When the door blew open and mamma walked in Shoutin' loud enough to wake the dead Well has anybody here see my sweet thang? I got a notion he'll be headed this a way 'Cause when my sweet thang is out tomocattin' around He finds a sandbox like this to play I wanna tell all you barroom roses That if my sweet thang does have a bite You'd better take my advice and if you'll blink more than twice You'd better have somethin' in your eyes You'd better take my advice and if you'll blink more than twice You'd better have somethin' in your eyes
