Well, I slipped out of the house about sundown   While mama was a washing her hair   And you can bet your bottom dollar   She'll come a lookin' for me   When she finds that I'm not there      And if she catches her sweet thang a running around   I know there'll be the debit to pay   She'll come blowin' like a cyclone through that door   And I can hear exactly what she'll say      Well, has anybody here seen sweet thang   I got a notion he'll be headed this-a way   ?Cause when my sweet thang is out tomocattin' around   He finds a sandbox like this to play      I wanna tell all you barroom roses   If my sweet thang does happen by   You'd better take my advice   And if you blink more than twice   You'd better have something in your eyes      Well, I gave my baby money on payday   Except a little she don't know that I've got   ?Cause there's a cute little waitress down at the corner cafe   And she seems to like me quite a lot      Well, we were sittin' in this back booth a havin' a talk   And she's believed in every word that I said   When the door blew open and mama walked in   Yellin' loud enough to wake the dead      Well, has anybody here seen sweet thang   I got a notion he'll be headed this-a way   ?Cause when my sweet thang is out tomocattin' around   He finds a sandbox like this to play      I wanna tell all you cafe cutie?s   If my sweet thang should have a bite   You'd better take mom's advice   If you'll blink more than twice   You'd better have something in your eyes      You take all mom's advice   If you'll blink more than twice   You'd better have something in your eyes
