Lyrics

Kiss me while you can, boys
I'm gonna round up that Rob Hood and hogtie his fancy Ms. Nancy
He made a getaway
He left me flat away
At times like this
A modern miss should gallop thataway
When love goes this away
Don't blow your bliss away
You might find out he's just about a hug and kiss away
No matter which away
He takes that bitch away
I won't relent 'til he'll consent to make a switch away
If he's in Santa Fe
Or in Piscataway
I'll pack my gown and leave this town and travel far away
If he's in Paraguay, or even Mandalay
I'll grab my horse and set my course to reach him thataway
I've known a man or two
A score or more, it's true
And if he stays or if he strays depends on my lasso
It ain't just how you woo 'em
But how you proceed to pursue 'em
If you move this away (this away)
And shake it thataway (thataway)
There's every chance he'll see you dance and holler, "Atta way!" (atta way)
Then if you flip away (flip away)
Rotate your hip away (hip away)
Just wait and see, I guarantee your man won't slip away
If you're the mate for him
Don't sit and wait for him
It's up to you, but if you do, you'll be too late for him
If there's a spataway
Don't throw his hat away
Forget that fight, and hold him tight
'Til he gets that away
What's that music?
What's that dance?
What's that stirring in my pants?
Did you see that?
Holy cow
What the hell do I do now?
If you move that way (that)
And shake it that way (music)
There's every chance he'll see you dance and holler, "Atta way!"
Then if you flip away (that)
Rotate your hip away
Just wait and see, I guarantee your guy won't slip away (in my pants)
If you're the mate for him (did you-)
Don't sit and wait for him (see that?)
It's up to you, but if you do, you'll be too late for him (holy cow!)
If there's a spataway (what the-)
Don't throw his hat away (hell do-)
Forget that fight, and hold him tight 'til he gets that away (I do now?)
Your man runs thataway (thataway)
Or he choose that way (that way)
At times like this a modern miss should gallop thataway (this way)
Thataway (this way)
Thataway (this way)
When love goes this away (this way)
Don't blow your bliss away (bliss away)
You might find out he's just about a hug and kiss away (kiss away)
And while you chat away
Your eyes will bat away
Eat off the ground (eat off the ground)
Your heart will pound (your heart will pound)
Eat off the ground, your heart will pound
As he looks thataway
Don't chew the fat away (the fat away)
We have but that to say
Just from the waist
Love sets a pace
Cut to the chase
Let's all go thataway
Or maybe thataway
I'm heading thataway (thataway)
