Whenever your cares are chronic,
Just tell the world, "go hang,"
You'll find a greater tonic,
If you go on swingin' with the
gang!
Flat foot floogie with a floy, floy,
Flat foot floogie with a floy,

Floy, floy, floy, yeah!
Send me on out there!
[Shouting and muttering to the band.]
Whenever your cares are chronic,
Just tell the world, "go hang,"
You'll find a greater tonic,
If you go on stumblin' with the
gang!
Hey, hey, hey, yes, yes!
Well, all right then; get those floy-floys straight!
