#64 on Rock Charts on ATCO Records in 1957.
#1.
[C]Bought myself an idol with a golden head.
([C]Great big [F]idol with the [C]golden [F]head.)
Put [C]it on a shelf right above my bed.
([C]Great big [F]idol with the [C]golden [F]head.)
Got [C]down on my knees and began to pray.
([C]Great big [F]idol with the [C]golden [F]head.)
#2.
I said, [C]idol, tell me, where's my Big Foot May?
([C]Great big [F]idol with the [C]golden [F]head.)
The [C]idol's eyes began to wink and blink.
([C]Great big [F]idol with the [C]golden [F]head.)
He said, [C]hold on Jim..give me time to think.
([C]Great big [F]idol with the [C]golden [F]head.)
#3.
The [C]lightning flashed and the idol did speak.
([C]Great big [F]idol with the [C]golden [F]head.)
He said, [C]your Big Foot May..she's down at
Catfish Creek.
CHORUS:
[F]Rocking and a-rolling..rocking and a-rolling.
Yes, she's [C]rocking and a-rolling..rocking and
A-rolling.
[F]Rocking and a-rolling..rocking and a-rolling.
[G7]Hopping and a-bopping and a-bumping and a-jumping.
#4.
I said, [C]goodbye to the idol sitting on my shelf.
([C]Oh, [F]gee, [C]what did you [F]see?)
Went [C]down to the creek to see for myself.
([C]Oh, [F]gee, [C]what did you [F]see?)
#5.
I [C]parked my car and I looked around.
([C]Oh, [F]gee, [C]what did you [F]see?)
There was a [C]mess of empty beer cans laying on
the ground.
([C]Oh, [F]gee, [C]what did you [F]see?)
#6.
I [C]peeked through the door and my hair turned gray.
([C]Oh, [F]gee, [C]what did you [F]see?)
In the [C]middle of the floor there was Big Foot May.
CHORUS:
[F]Rocking and a-rolling..rocking and a-rolling.
Yes, she's [C]rocking and a-rolling..rocking and
A-rolling.
[F]Rocking and a-rolling..rocking and a-rolling.
[G7]Hopping and a-bopping and a-bumping and a-jumping.
#7.
I went [C]back to the house I was feeling so blue.
([C]Great big [F]idol with the [C]golden [F]head.)
I said, [C]tell me, idol..what am I gonna do?
([C]Great big [F]idol with the [C]golden [F]head.)
#8.
He said, [C]I got the answer..there's only one way.
([C]Great big [F]idol with the [C]golden [F]head.)
You got to [C]learn to do the boogie with your
Big Foot May.
CHORUS:
[F]Rocking and a-rolling..rocking and a-rolling.
Yes, she's [C]rocking and a-rolling..rocking and
A-rolling.
[F]Rocking and a-rolling..rocking and a-rolling.
[G7]Hopping and a-bopping and a-bumping and a-jumping
and A-hump.....!!!!
