Idol with the Golden Head
The Gories Lyrics
Bought myself an idol with a golden head
(Great big idol with the golden head)
Put it on a shelf right above my bed
(Great big idol with the golden head)
Got down on my knees and began to pray
(Great big idol with the golden head)
I said, idol
Tell me Where's my big foot May
(Great big idol with The golden head)
The idol's eyes began to wink and blink
(Great big idol with the golden head)
He said, hold on give me time to think
(Great big idol with the golden head)
The lightning flashed and the idol did speak
(Great big idol with the golden head)
He said, your big foot May
She's down at Catfish Creek
Rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
Yes, she's rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
Rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
(Hopping and a-bopping and
A-bumping and a-jumping)
I said goodbye to the idol
Sitting on my shelf
(Oh, gee, what did you see)
Went down to the creek To see for myself
(Oh, gee, what did you see)
I parked my car and I looked around
(Oh, gee, what did you see)
There was a mess of empty beer
Cans laying on the ground
(Oh, gee, what did you see)
I peeked through the door and
My hair turned gray
(Oh, gee, what did you see)
In the middle of the floor
There was big foot May
Rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
Yes, rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
Rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
(Hopping and a-bopping and
A-bumping and a-jumping)
I went back to the house
I was feeling so blue
(Great big idol with The golden head)
I said, tell me, idol what am I gonna do
(Great big idol with the golden head)
He said
I got the answer there's only one way
(Great big idol with the golden head)
You got to learn to do the
Boogie with your big foot May
Rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
Yes, rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
Rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
(Hopping and a-bopping and
A-bumping and a-jumping)
(Great big idol with the golden head)
Put it on a shelf right above my bed
(Great big idol with the golden head)
Got down on my knees and began to pray
(Great big idol with the golden head)
I said, idol
Tell me Where's my big foot May
(Great big idol with The golden head)
The idol's eyes began to wink and blink
He said, hold on give me time to think
(Great big idol with the golden head)
The lightning flashed and the idol did speak
(Great big idol with the golden head)
He said, your big foot May
She's down at Catfish Creek
Rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
Yes, she's rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
Rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
(Hopping and a-bopping and
A-bumping and a-jumping)
I said goodbye to the idol
Sitting on my shelf
(Oh, gee, what did you see)
Went down to the creek To see for myself
(Oh, gee, what did you see)
I parked my car and I looked around
(Oh, gee, what did you see)

My hair turned gray
(Oh, gee, what did you see)
In the middle of the floor
There was big foot May
Rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
Yes, rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)
Rocking and a-rolling
(Rocking and a-rolling)

A-bumping and a-jumping)
