Give her a red lipstick and a bright pair of shoes
A new bob haircut and a shot of good booze
Hurry down, sweet daddy, I'm blowin' your horn
Oh if you come too late
No no, your mama' will be gone

Come along young man, everythin's sittin' right
My husband gone away till next Saturday night
Hurry down, sweet daddy, I'm blowin' your horn
Oh if you come too late
No no, your mama' will be gone

I'm raring to go, red shoes on my feet
Got my mind set right for ten years at sea
Hurry down, sweet daddy, I'm blowin' your horn
If you come too late
No no, your mama' will be gone

Yeah cause the red rooster says "cock-a-doodle doo doo"
The Richland woman says "and a dude'll do"
Hurry down, sweet daddy, I'm blowin' your horn
If you come too late
No no, your mama' will be gone
One more time

Red rooster says "cock-a-doodle do do"
The wishing woman says "and a doodle do"
Hurry down, sweet daddy, I'm blowin' your horn
If you come too late
No no, your mama' will be gone
