Well they moved on down

And they crawled around

Walkin' sideways, sideway walkin'

Give me the blues



And you start to scratch

When they start to hatch

Walkin' sideways, sideway walkin'

Give me the blues



Oh, but when they start to bite

Then it's time you saw the light

For an appointment, I know

Before you start to scream

That's when you apply the cream

Blues ointment



Oh well the doctor said

"We got to make 'em dead"

Walkin' sideways, sideway walkin'

Give me the blues



And when you start to scream

That's when you apply the cream

Blues ointment



Yeah, and when they start to itch

You go out and take the bitch

For an appointment



Well you rub it on

And you rub it in

Stops 'em walking, sideway walkin'

Gives them the blues



Sideway walkin', sideway walkin'

They got the blues

Give them the blues

They got the blues

Give them the blues
