john clayton - the walking bass lyrics

[verse 1]

i was sitting in the rain the other day
getting soaked, watching those football players play
my team was loosing so it wasn’t even funny
and old dumb me bet all my money
i got so shook i could hardly even talk
so i got my bass and we went for a walk
we started walking

[verse 2]

now the bass and i, we got a good thing going
we can stand on the corner and see what legs are showing
some of the girls walk by don’t like to look at my face but
every last one says: “can i pluck that bass?”
and i say nahah, no, we just keep walking

[verse 3]

we must’ve walked about a mile or more
i started to get tired, my feet were getting sore
so i said: “ughh bass? we walked pretty far
let’s go have a taste in this soulful looking bar.”
so we walked in and ordered too
and the bartender, he’s standin’ there like he doesn’t know what to do
so i said: “hey man, why that look on your face?”
he said: “first time in my life, i’ve ever seen a drinking bass!”
let’s go walkin’

[verse 4]

we had, oh, round after round
finally, i got so i thought my insights would drown
i mean every time i looked down i saw them shake like jelly and
i can’t drink as much as this bass, it’s got a much bigger belly
so i said: “ughh bass? after we got those last two down let’s make ourselves homeward bound”
and we tried to walk but it was prety messed up
i said who would lean it on me in the middle of the thyroid problem?
i mean i was seeing double… bass that is
[verse 5]

by the time we got home i’d straightened up
so i walked into my house and said: “hi b+ttercup”
she said: “aha jc, i can tell by that look on your face,”
“you’ve been out drinking again you and that old drunken bass.”
“now+now we don’t have any money and we can’t pay the rent and
where are we gonna sleep are we gonna sleep in that old tent?!”
and i said: “you jam… get out of my sp+ce.”
“i don’t need you. i’ve got my bass”
lets go walkin’

[verse 6]

so if you’ve got domestic problems or whatever may be the case
just save a little money and go buy a bass
and when your mate starts that nagging talking
you can just grab your raincoat, take your bass and go walking
you might say: “spend all that money?! it’s only made of wood!”
but you can tell by its shape it must be some kind of good
let’s go walk
