Well they move on down

And they crawl around

Walkin' sideways

Sideways walkin'

Gives me the blues



And then you start to scratch

And they start to hatch

Walkin' sideways

Sideways walkin'

Gives me the blues



Oh, and when they start to itch

Then it's time to take the bitch

For an appoinment

Before you start to scream

That's when you apply the cream

Blues ointment



Well the doctor said



We got to make 'em dead

Stops 'em walkin

Sideways walkin'

Gives me the blues



Oh, and when you start to scream

That's when you apply the cream

Blues ointment

And when they start to itch

You go out and you take the bitch

For an appoinment



Well you rub it on

And you rub it in

Stops em walkin'

Sideways walkin'

gives them the blues



They got the blues.

Gives them the blues.
