Omar & the Howlers - Yellow Coat

A forty-gallon hat, a pair of polka-dot shoes
Tomato pickin' onion juice to drive away my blues
A bright red leather suit, a trip in a motorboat
And the strike I caused on the waterfront when I fell out on my yellow coat

Hey doll, oh, stick with me, baby, don't cha dare quit it
You're bound to get it
Made outta goat skin, frog skin
Lay out in milk and gin

The people quit the scene like the devil was loose
The clouds turned green and let down lemon juice
What walks on two feet and looks like a goat?
That's crazy Omar in a bright yellow coat

Hey doll, oh, stick with it, baby, don't cha dare quit it
You're bound to get it
Made outta goat skin, frog skin
Lay it out in milk and gin
What time is it?
Come get it, baby, let's go

Took a trip out west, I went to see my Uncle Joe
Ran into a bit of bad weather, ice, rain and snow
Fifty million bulldogs, half a mile of goats
Gathered 'round at sundown to see my yellow coat

Hey doll, oh, stick with it, baby, don't cha dare quit it
You're bound to get it, yay!
Made outta goat skin, frog skin
Lay it out, lay it out in milk, milk and gin, baby
Let's go one time
