Sweet Thang
Dave Dudley
I slipped out of the house about sundown
While mama was a washin' her hair
And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come a lookin' for me
When she finds that I ain't there
And if she catches her sweet thang out running around
I know there'll be the debit to pay
She'll come blowin' like a cyclone right through that door
And I can hear exactly what she'll say
Well has anybody here see my sweet thang
I got a notion he'd be headed this way
Cause when my sweet thang's out tomocattin' around
He finds a sandbox like this to play
I wanna tell all you barroom roses if my sweet thang does have a bite
You'd better take my advice if you'll blink more than twice
You'd better have something in your eyes

I gave my baby all my money on payday
Except a little she don't know about
Cause there's a little cute waitress down at the corner cafe
She seems to like me quite a lot
While we were sittin' in the back booth just a havin' a talk
She believed in every word that I said
When that door blew open and mama walked in
Yellin' loud enough to wake the dead
Well has anybody here see my sweet thang
I got a notion he'd be headed this way
Cause when my sweet thang's out tomocattin' around
He finds a sandbox like this to play
I wanna tell all you cafe cuties if my sweet thang should have a bite
You'd better take my advice if you'll blink more than twice
You'd better have something in your eyes
You take all my advice if you'll blink more than twice
You'd better have something in your eyes
