I know they're gonna run take me
  When they get across the sea
  Ever' chance, those women; Watch-it's amazing
  It's all safe and now sugar baby

  Now then they're doin' the Lindy Bird across the sea.
    Oh Mama, how can it be, You went way across the sea
  Just to keep from doing that Lindy fight with me
  Oh baby, well I done just told'ja now
    Oh Mama, don't you weep and moan, Uncle Sam got your man and gone.
  Now then they're doin' the Lindy Bird across the sea.
    She said, "Let me play the blues on your piano
  And then I'll do that Lindy thing with you."

    I asked her for a glass of payolla;
  She said, "Let me play the blues on your Victrola,
  And then I'll do that Lindy fight with you."
