Sweet Thang - Jerry Lee Lewis, Linda Gail Lewis

Well I slipped out of the house about sundown while mama was a washing her hair

And you can bet your bottom dollar she’ll come a lookin' for me When she finds that I’m not there

And if she catches her sweet thang a running around

I know there’ll be the debit to pay

She’ll come blowin' like a cyclone through that door

And I can hear exactly what she’ll say

Well has anybody here seen 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 HAPPEN BY

You’d better take my advice AND IF YOU blink more than twice

You’d better have something in your eyes

Well I gave my baby money on payday except a little she don’t know that I’ve got

Cause there’s a cute little waitress down at the corner cafe

And she seems to like me quite a lot

Well we were sittin' in this back booth a havin' a talk

And she’s believed in every word that I said

When the door blew open and mama walked in yellin' loud enough to wake the dead

Well has anybody here seen 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 cafe cuties if my sweet thang should have a bite

You’d better take mom’s advice if you’ll blink more than twice

You’d better have something in your eyes

You take all mom’s advice if you’ll blink more than twice

You’d better have something in your eyes
