Idol With The Golden Head:The Coasters.
#64 on Rock Charts on ATCO Records in 1957.
#1.
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.)
#2.
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 Jim..give me time to think.
(Great big idol with the golden head.)
#3.
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.
CHORUS:
Rocking and a-rolling..rocking and a-rolling.
Yes, she s rocking and a-rolling..rocking and
-rolling.
Rocking and a-rolling..rocking and a-rolling.
Hopping and a-bopping and a-bumping and a-jumping.
#4.
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?)
#5.
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?)
#6.
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.
CHORUS:
Rocking and a-rolling..rocking and a-rolling.
Yes, she s rocking and a-rolling..rocking and
-rolling.
Rocking and a-rolling..rocking and a-rolling.
Hopping and a-bopping and a-bumping and a-jumping.
#7.
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.)
#8.
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.
CHORUS:
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
and A-hump.....!!!!
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
