HAVE YOU SEEN MY BABY ON THE AVENUE?
YOU KNOW SHE`S DRIVING ME CRAZY
WITH THE FUNNY THINGS SHE DO.
I SEEN HER WITH THE MILKMAN,
RIDIN` DOWN THE STREET,
WHEN YOU`RE THROUGH WITH MY BABY, MILKMAN,
SEND HER HOME TO ME.
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON,
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
YOU KNOW IT`S BEEN SO LONG
SINCE SHE HAS BEEN GONE,
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
I SEEN HER WITH THE GYPSIES, DANCIN` IN THE WOODS,
SHE`S ALWAYS BEEN UNFAITHFUL TO ME,
SHE`S NEVER BEEN GOOD.
I SAID, "PLEASE, DON`T TALK TO STRANGERS, BABY."
BUT SHE ALWAYS DO.
SHE SAID, "I TALK TO STRANGERS IF I WANT TO
`CAUSE I`M A STRANGER TOO."
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON,
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
YOU KNOW IT`S BEEN SO LONG
SINCE SHE HAS BEEN GONE,
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
ALRIGHT!
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON,
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
YOU KNOW IT`S BEEN SO LONG
SINCE SHE HAS BEEN GONE,
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON,
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
BARA-OOMPAH-OOMPAH-PAH-PAH!
