Lyrics
Walk right in, sit right down
And Daddy, let your mind roll on
Hey! walk right in, stay a little while
But, Daddy, you can’t stay too long
Now, everybody’s talkin’
‘Bout that new way you walk
Do you want to lose your mind?
Hey! walk right in, sit right down
And, Daddy, let your mind roll on
Walk right in, sit right down
And, Baby, let your mind roll on
Hey! walk right in, stay a little while
But, Baby, you can’t stay too long
Now, everybody’s talkin’
‘Bout that new way you walk
Do you want to lose your mind?
Hey! walk right in, sit right down
And Baby, let your mind roll on
