Yellow Coat Lyrics - Singles - Screamin' Jay Hawkins

A forty gallon hat 

And some polka-dot shoes. 

Tomato pickin' onion juice 

To drive away my blues. 

A bright red leather suit, 

A trip in a motorboat, 

And the strike I caused on the waterfront 

When I fell outta my yellow coat. 

Hey now, stick with it. 

Aw baby don't quit it. 

You know you're bound to git it. 

Yes sir, made outta goat skin, foreskin 

And layin' out in milk and gin. 

The people quit the scene 

Like the devil was loose. 

The clouds turned green 

And let down lemon juice. 

What walks on two feet 

And looks like a goat? 

That crazy Screamin' Jay 

In a bright yellow coat. 

Hey now, stick with it. 

Baby, baby don'tcha quit it. 

Aw you're bound to git it. 

Yes sir, made outta goat skin, foreskin 

And layin' out in milk and gin. 

I took a plane out midwest 

To see my Uncle Joe. 

We ran into some real bad weather, 

Ice, rain and snow. 

Fifty million bulldogs 

Twenty mountain goats, 

All gathered 'round at sundown 

To see my yellow coat. 

Hey now, stick with it. 

No, no, no, no don'tcha dare quit it. 

Hey, you're bound to git it. 

Made outta goat skin, foreskin 

And layin' out in milk and gin.
