Walk into a restaurant with chicken on my mind
Look at the menu - I want roast beef and wine
Waitress comes, I order baked beans and bread
When she brings it I want ham and eggs instead
Because my mind keeps movin', bouncin' and a-groovin'
A-flippin', floppin' every which way
From minute to minute, if I'm out of it or in it
Never know just what I'm gonna do or say
Sometimes I wake up happy, sometimes I wake up mean
Sometimes I wake up missin' somethin' I ain't seen
Might wake up wasted and I might wake up dead
Might wake up and look around and jump right back in bed
Because my mind keeps movin', bouncin' and a-groovin'
And a-flippin', floppin' every which way
From minute to minute, if I'm out of it or in it
Never know just what I'm gonna do or say
Sittin' home at midnight thinkin' 'bout Marie
Go to the phone, I dial "Carollee"
I say, "Come down, babe, as fast as you can"
When she gets there, I'm thinkin' 'bout Anne
Because my mind keeps movin', bouncin' and a-groovin'
And a-flippin', floppin' every which way
From minute to minute, if I'm out of it or in it
Never know just what I'm gonna do or say
Fly off to Paris just to get away from home
Get off in London and I grab a boat for Rome
Go to St. Louis, be in St. Paul
Or else take a trip and go no place at all
Because my mind keeps movin', flippin', floppin', groovin'
Cheerin', hoppin', boppin' every which way
From minute to minute, if I'm out of it or in it
Never know just what I'm gonna do or say
I go to a psychiatrist to straighten my head
Then I decide I need a chiropractor instead
Put salt in my coffee and ketchup in my tea
Only dig a chick that don't dig me
Because my mind keeps bouncin', trappin'
Hoppin', floppin', rappin', I don't know
From minute to minute, if I'm out of it or in it
Never know just what I'm gonna do or say
Sometimes I don't shave and I look kinda weird
So I shave off my hair and then I grow a beard
Shave off my beard, dye my eyebrows green
Play myself a song upon a tambourine
Because my mind keeps movin', hoppin', floppin', groovin'
Cheerin', loppin', toppin' every which way
From minute to minute, if I'm out of it or in it
Never know just what I'm gonna do or say
