Rooty Toot Toot - Lyrics by John Mellencamp


Lyrics
Got my hands on a little bit of dough
So I went to the crocery store
And got some steaks to go
Went by, and picked up my gal, teddi jo
We had ourselves a picnic
Beside a dirty road
Chorus:
Rooty toot toot
Rooty toot toot
We had it made in the shade
Like a bell through the hoop
Spinnin
´ and tumblin
´ inside this
Hoola hoop
Livin
´ and learnin
´rooty toot toot
We laid out a blanket
And started a fire.
Had the radio playin
´from inside the car
I took off my shirt
And kicked off my shoes
She read the paper
And told me the news
She said, there
´s a lot of
People out there
Who are at the end of their rope
Sometimes, baby
You
´ve got to lay low
Chorus:
Rooty toot toot
Rooty toot toot
We had it made in the shade
Like a bell through the hoop
Spinnin
´ and tumblin
´ inside this
Hoola hoop
Livin
´ and learnin
´rooty toot toot
We stayed there all day
We both get us some real
Good suntans
I thought, that was ok
Sometimes life can be so grand
We were gettin
´ ready
To shake out that place
When the illinois state trooper
Got in my face
He said, you
´re on pirvate property
But once he cooled down, he was ok
Sometimes you
´re golden, man
That
´s all I got to say
Chorus:
Rooty toot toot
Rooty toot toot
We had it made in the shade
Like a bell through the hoop
Spinnin
´ and tumblin
´ inside this
Hoola hoop
Livin
´ and learnin
´rooty toot toot
