You Gotta Have A Ducktail (Original Mix)

You gotta have a ducktail

Uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh

Well a-bless my soul I can hardly wait

To see my baby at eight

I been thinkin' about her all the day long

Thinkin' what she says to me she says

You gotta have a ducktail

Uh-huh uh-huh

I read an ad in the magazine

It said I groom my hair real well

I ran down to the d**gstore to get me a can

To fix my baby a pretty duck-a-tail

I picked up my baby 'bout a-quarter past eight

Everything was goin' jus-a-fine

Untill I started to steal a little kiss

She says let's have a look behind 'cause

You gotta have a ducktail

Uh-huh uh-huh

Yeah

Uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh

Well when I see my baby it's so hard to explain

How my hair curls when it rains

She grabbed for the comb and reaches for my hair

Then she says again she says

You gotta have a ducktail

Uh-huh uh-huh

Well I'm fed up with her yakety-yak

She just can't realize

That everytime when I start to rock

My hair falls right down in my eyes

I picked up my baby and I walked her to the gate

Think that I am a-free

But when I get home I hear the ring of the phone

Well this is what she says to me she says

You gotta have a ducktail

Uh-huh uh-huh

I tried to tell her I tried to explain

She better take just what I got

If it hadn't a-been for the hair on my head

There might have been a big a-bald spot

Well I picked up my baby the very next day

To take her for a ride

She looked up at me I looked down at her

She said with a smile she says

I see you got your ducktail
