But my head feels like August
When the sun just won't go away
And these days feel the fucking same

"My baby she can shimmey, my baby she can shake;
And she knows how to wiggle like a, rattlesnake! 🫣
My baby she can can strut, send shivers down my spine;
Everybody wanna have a baby like mine! 🤪
So what am I doin'?
What am I doin'? 🤔
What am I doin, standin' here just singin' the blues?"
