All safe for now sugar baby
Oh mama don't you weep and moan
Uncle Sam got your man and gone
Now they're doing the Lindy Bird across the sea (intro is played here)
Oh mama how can it be
You went way across the sea
Just to keep from doing that Lindy Bird with me
Oh baby well I done told you now
You should have seen me with my uniform on
I could Lindy just as sure as you're born
And then I'd do that Lindy Bird with you (intro)
I asked her for a piece of banana
She said let me play the blues on your piano
And then I'll do that Lindy Bird with you
She said she had a dream about a submarine 
I asked her for a glass of kaola
She said let me play the blues on your victrola
And then I'll do the Lindy Bird with you (intro)
