Mister Gator he's a-glidin' down the bayou

Mister Buzzard he's a-slidin' through the air

Mister Turtle be a-hittin' the highway

I ain't goin' nowhere

I ain't leavin you love, babe

I ain't leavin you love, babe

Not for heaven above, babe

I ain't leavin you love, babe

The poor man got him an airplane

tryin to cruise across the traffic jam

the rich man got him a Chevrolet

I'm stayin' right where I am

Now Hannibal he climbed the mountains

Cleopatra danced down the Nile

Lucky Lindy made it all the way to gay Paris

I'm stayin right here awhile
