Mistaken Identity (Live)

[Intro]
Good evening, ladies and gentleman, welcome to the Bluebird Cafe
My name is Fred Knobloch, this is Jelly Roll Johnson
You're in the house that the songwriters built

[Verse 1]
There goes the plate, oops, there's the platter
A-talk to me, honey, tell me what's the matter

[Chorus]
That was not me
Well, that couldn't have been me
Just a simple little case of mistaken identity

[Verse 2]
Now Betty saw me dancin' where and with who?
Dara saw me rockin' at some other joint too
Now who do you believe, me or your friends?
Don't answer that yet 'til I explain again

[Chorus]
That it was not me
That couldn't have been me
Just a sorry little case of mistaken identity

[Refrain]
You really think that I'm the only guy in town
With an '83 Camaro painted pink and brown?
Trunk held shut with some baling wire
Day-Glo spinners and whitewall tires
Now what makes you think that was me?
It's just a silly little case of mistaken identity
Play it, Jelly

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Did I forget to call and say that I'd be late?
Had to do some business, I just couldn't wait
Besides, what was Betty doin' down at the Deja Vu?
And Dara, she's as blind as Mr. Magoo

[Chorus]
So that was not me
That couldn't have been me
Just a sorry little case of mistaken identity

[Refrain]
Well, I'm not the only guy that wears turquoise boots
Looks this good in a lavender suit
I don't know where he's from or who it could be
But someone out there's tryna imitate me

[Verse 4]
Put down your gravy boat, drop that skillet
It's almost as though you don't believe for a minute

[Chorus]
But it was not me
That couldn't have been me
Just a sorry little case of mistaken identity

[Outro]
Well, that was not me
When's dinner gonna be?
Just a sorry little case of mistaken identity
Thank you so much
