Memphis Yo Yo Blues

[Verse 1]
I woke up this morning feeling sad and blue
Couldn't find my yo-yo, didn't know what to do
Come home daddy, mama's got the yo-yo blues

[Verse 2]
I went downtown, called my daddy on the phone
He said, “don't cry mama, daddy'll bring your yo-yo home
Go back mama, your daddy's got you, come right on”

[Verse 3]
If you don't b'lieve I can yo-yo, watch me wind my string
Come home daddy and make the yo-yo sing
Mama knows daddy is kind of tight in everything

[Verse 4]
Bring your yo-yo, wind the string around my thumb
Mama knows just how to make the yo-yo hum
Bring your yo-yo, daddy and we'll have lots of fun

[Verse 5]
If your daddy can't yo-yo, you better learn him how
Listen women, I don't mean to start no row
'Cause ev'rybody is doing the yo-yo now, anyhow
