Yellow Coat - Jay Hawkins

A forty gallon hat

And some polka-dot shoes

Tomato pickin' onion juice

To drive away my blues

A bright red leather suit

A trip in a motorboat

And the strike I caused on the waterfront

When I fell outta my yellow coat

Hey now, stick with it

Aw baby don’t quit it

You know you’re bound to git it

Yes sir, made outta goat skin, foreskin

And layin' out in milk and gin

The people quit the scene

Like the devil was loose

The clouds turned green

And let down lemon juice

What walks on two feet

And looks like a goat?

That crazy Screamin' Jay

In a bright yellow coat

Hey now, stick with it

Baby, baby don’tcha quit it

Aw you’re bound to git it

Yes sir, made outta goat skin, foreskin

And layin' out in milk and gin

I took a plane out midwest

To see my Uncle Joe

We ran into some real bad weather

Ice, rain and snow

Fifty million bulldogs

Twenty mountain goats

All gathered 'round at sundown

To see my yellow coat

Hey now, stick with it

No, no, no, no don’tcha dare quit it

Hey, you’re bound to git it

Made outta goat skin, foreskin

And layin' out in milk and gin
