Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I said shotgun, shoot him 'fore he run now

Do the jerk, baby

Do the jerk, now

[Verse 2]

Hey, put on your red dress

And then you go downtown, now

I said, buy yourself a shotgun now

We gonna break it down, baby, now

We're gonna load it up, baby, now

And then you shoot him 'fore he run, now

[Verse 3]

I said shotgun, shoot him 'fore he run now

Do the jerk, baby

Do the jerk, now, hey!

[Verse 4]

Shotgun, shoot him 'fore he run, now

Do the jerk, baby

Do the jerk, now

[Verse 5]

Hey! Put on your high-heeled shoes

I said we're going down here to listen to 'em play the blues

We're gonna dig potatoes

We're gonna pick tomatoes

[Verse 6]

I said, shotgun

Shoot him 'fore he runs now

Do the jerk, baby

Do the jerk, now

[Verse 7]

I said it's twine time

I said it's twine time

I said it's twine time, hey! What did I say?
