rooty toot toot
Got my hands on a little bit of dough So I went to the grocery 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   Rooty toot toot Rooty toot toot We had it made in the shade Like a bell through the hoop Spinning and tumbling inside this Hoola hoop Living and learning rooty toot toot  We laid out a blanket And started a fire. Had the radio playing  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"   Rooty toot toot Rooty toot toot We had it made in the shade Like a bell through the hoop Spinning and tumbling 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 getting' ready To shake out that place When the Illinois state trooper Got in my face He said, "You're on private property" But once he cooled down, he was OK Sometimes you're golden, man That's all I got to say   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
