Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-hoo, yeah
Sloopy lives in a very poor part of town
And all the girls I know
They try to put my Sloopy down
Come on, Sloopy, oh, come on, girl, yeah
Hang on, Sloopy, Sloopy, hang on
Hang on, Sloopy, Sloopy, hang on
(Ooh, hang on, Sloopy) Sloopy, I don't care
(Hang on, Sloopy, ooh, hang on, Sloopy) What your daddy do
(Ooh, hang on, Sloopy) 'Cause don't you know, little girl
(Hang on, Sloopy, ooh, hang on, Sloopy) That I'm in love with you?
That's why I said come on, Sloopy, come to me
Come on, girl, I'ma telling you to
Hang on, Sloopy, Sloopy, hang on
Hang, you got to hang on, baby, baby, hang on
I think I better stop right now
Fellas in the band, stop right now
I believe I wanna tell you
Why they call my baby Sloopy
You see, Sloop and I have always been
Together, ever since I can remember
Our love always was strong for each other
You see, our love was so strong that people used to laugh
And say "They think they in love right now
But you wait until after they have to snow in each other's face
I bet they don't be in love then"
Hahaha, that was so funny to me
You know, I can remember the time when I got a job
I got this job so I can buy pretty things for my baby Sloopy
And I can remember that I was working in a sawmill at the time
And one day I got three of my fingers cut off in a accident
And for a man who only knows how to do his thing with his hands
That was a bad, bad, bad, bad thing to happen
But you know what? Sloopy stuck right by me and she stayed with me
Hahaha, what manner of girl is this?
And my love just kept growing strong for her
And I could do no wrong in Sloopy's eyes
Oh, yes, it was, the truth I'm telling you
I remember one night, we decided to go out with some friends
And we went to this big dance, you know
I don't remember who was playing that night
May have been James Brown or Tom Jones
Or even Sam & Dave could've been there
But Sloopy and I, we went, we didn't have the best of clothes to wear
But we wore what we had, oh, yeah
And we went with some friends, and they
Always say friends were laughing at us
And I've always heard that if you wanna be hurt real, real bad
All you have to do is get a friend to
Do it, and they'll do it up for you
And Sloop and I got on the dance floor, and we were dancing
I don't even remember the dance we were doing
It could've been that thing that y'all doing right now
Or maybe it was something else
But I remember that we were really
Getting into a thing together, Sloop and I
You see, we hadn't been happy in such a long time
Until this dance was just a relief for us
And we were trying hard to really enjoy ourselves
And all of our friends were looking at us
And Sloop and I didn't care, we didn't even think about it
But you know what happened?
Doggone luck, you know what happened?
The pin that was holding Sloop's dress broke
And people were looking at Sloop
They were looking at all of Sloop's self
And Sloop turned to me and said, "David, they're laughing at us."
I said, "Yes, darling, I know. I hope it didn't hurt you too bad."
And she said to me, "No, David, it doesn't hurt me
Because they can't really see, you see
They're looking at the outside of me
But David, you see the inside, you can see
Within because you know what's really there
Darling, you put it there."
And I just looked at her and I just, I just wanted
To do something strange right there, but I didn't
And I just wanna ask the world, have you
Ever seen or heard of a girl like my Sloop?
Don't it make you wanna look some more?
Don't it make you wanna try to find what I got?
Don't it make you think about if you had somebody like this?
I tell you, I got a real good thing
And I don't care what they call my baby
Oh no, I don't care, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
That's good, that's good, that's good, hang on
It's alright with me
That's good, that's good, that's good, hang on
It's alright with me
I'ma tell her to hang
That's good, that's good, that's good, hang on
Oh, Sloop, Sloop, hang on
That's good, that's good, that's good, hang on
One more time, hang
That's good, that's good, that's good, hang on
Oh, Sloop, Sloop, hang on
Hang on, Sloop, hang on
You got it there, ah yeah
Oh baby, baby
One more time
Got to tell you
Sloop, let your hair down
Let it down on me
Girl, we out tonight, so Sloop, let your hair way down
Let it down on me, yeah
Come on (Come on, Sloop)
Come on, girl (Come on, Sloop)
Come on right now, baby (Come on, Sloop)
Come on, girl (Come on, Sloop)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hang (Hang)
Oh, Sloop, Sloop, hang on, yeah
Hang on (Hang)
Sloop, Sloop, hang on, baby
Sloop, you live in a very bad part of town
And all the guys 'round your house
You know they try to put you down
Don't let it bother you
Come on (Come on, Sloop)
Come on, Sloop (Come on, Sloop)
Come on, baby (Come on, Sloop)
Look, come on now (Come on, Sloop)
Ow
Hang on, baby
Hey, hey, hey
You got to hang on
Don't lose your hold on this love we got
You got to hang on
Hold it, baby, baby
Let 'em talk about you, baby, woo, woo
My baby
Hang on, Sloop, Sloop, hang on, baby
We together, we together, you and me, baby
We together
Nobody can hurt us
Long as you hang on
Baby
