Frankie D. said he got it Straight from Roger Miller Life抯 just like takin' candy From a gorilla I started thinkin' man This ain't so tough That抯 about the time That the monkey showed up Sometimes I can't find My heart with both hands I usually got my head stuck Down in the sand I start to feel like I can't even breathe What's the little breath of fresh air Blowin' up my sleeve Chorus Must be my baby hey hey hey She can make the Mississippi River Run the other way
Must be my baby just in time How抯 she always know when I'm about to lose my mind Sometimes it feels like Everything抯 a drag I could not smile my way Out of a wet paper bag It gets so dark That the clock stops tickin' It抯 just like night and day Was playin' chicken I'm ridin' on the boiler of a long black train Tryin' to find the brakes In a drivin' rain I got smokestack lightning' pourin out the funnel What's the little light at the end of the tunnel Chorus
