Last night my gal went to bed
She put a pistol under my head
I said, Move that thing. (Keep on a–movin')
You've got to move that thing.
If you want me to sleep here tonight
You've got to move that thing

I got a job as a teamster, 'twas out of my place
The mule backed up in my face.
I said, Move that thing. (Keep on a–movin')
You've got to move that thing. (Whole lots of movin')
If you want me to stay here
You've got to move that thing

A horse an' a flea an' two little mice
Went down in a cellar shootin' dice
Sayin', Move that thing.
You've got to move that thing. (Keep on a–movin')
If you want me to stay here
You've got to move that thing

Then the horse he slipped, fell on the flea
The flea said, Police, the horse on me.
You've got to move that thing. (Whole lots of movin')
You've got to move that thing. (Keep on a–movin')
If you want me to stay here
You've got to move that thing

Said the little red rooster to the little red hen
You haven't laid an egg since I don't know when.
You've got to move that thing. (Whole lots of movin')
You've got to move that thing. (Keep on a–movin') (???)
Don't get mad, you've got to move
Move, move, move that thing
