Lyrics The Idol With the Golden Head - The Coasters

The Idol With the Golden Head

Bought myself an idol
With a golden head
(Great big idol with
The golden head)
Put it on a shelf
Right above my bed
(Great big idol with
The golden head)
Got down on my knees
And began to pray
(Great big idol with
The golden head)
I said, idol, tell me Where’s my big foot May
(Great big idol with
The golden head)
The idol’s eyes
Began to wink and blink
(Great big idol with
The golden head)
He said, hold on Give me time to think
(Great big idol with
The golden head)
The lightning flashed
And the idol did speak
(Great big idol with
The golden head)
He said, your big foot May
She’s down at Catfish Creek
Rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
Yes, she’s rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
Rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
(Hopping and a-bopping and
A-bumping and a-jumping)
I said goodbye to the idol
Sitting on my shelf
(Oh, gee, what did you see)
Went down to the creek
To see for myself
(Oh, gee, what did you see)
I parked my car
And I looked around
(Oh, gee, what did you see)
There was a mess of empty
Beer cans laying on the ground
(Oh, gee, what did you see)
I peeked through the door
And my hair turned gray
(Oh, gee, what did you see)
In the middle of the floor
There was big foot May
Rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
Yes, rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
Rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
(Hopping and a-bopping and
A-bumping and a-jumping)
I went back to the house
I was feeling so blue
(Great big idol with
The golden head)
I said, tell me, idol
What am I gonna do
(Great big idol with
The golden head)
He said, I got the answer
There’s only one way
(Great big idol with
The golden head)
You got to learn to do the boogie
With your big foot May
Rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
Yes, rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
Rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
(Hopping and a-bopping and
A-bumping and a-jumping)
