My Mind Keeps Movin’
Walk into a restaurant with chicken on my mind
Look at the menu I want roastbeaf and wine
A waitress comes up I order baked beans and bread
Oh when she brings it I want ham’n eggs instead
Because my mind keeps a movin’ bouncin’ and a groovin’
A flippin’ floppin’ every whichaway
From minute to minute if my mind ain’t really in it
Never know just what I’m do or say
Sometimes I wake up happy sometimes I wake up mean
Sometimes I wake up missin’ somethin’ I ain’t seen
Might wake up wasted and I might wake up dead
Might wake up and look around and jump back into bed
Because my mind keeps a movin’...

Sittin’ home at midnight thinkin’ bout Marie go to the phone I dial Carol Lee
I say come by babe just as fast as you can
And when she gets there I’m thinkin’ bout Ann
Because my mind keeps a movin’...
Fly off to Paris just to get away from home
Get off in London and I grab a boat for Rome
Got to St Louis be in St Paul or else take a trip and go no place at all
Because my mind keeps a movin’...
I go to a psychiatrist to straighten my head
Then I decide I need a chiropractor instead
Put salt in my coffee and ketchup in my tea only dig a chick that don’t dig me
Because my mind keeps a movin’...
Sometimes I don’t shave and I look kinda weird
So shave off my hair and I grow a beard
Shave off my beard dye my eyebrows green
Play myself a song upon a tambourine
Because my mind keeps a movin’...
