Rollin In The Grass


I wrote these fun lyrics to Scufflin by Charlie Musselwhite back in 2008.

Take a deep breath of life

Like a full grown kid

Honey, rollin in the grass

Don’t bring me down

Ahhh, I knew a chap

That never grew up

Baby, Rollin in the grass

Don’t bring me down

The rhythm is good

Yea, the rhythm is right

We’ll be rollin in the grass

Till the early morning light.

We been soakin up the sun

Baby all day long

We’ll be soakin up the wine

Till the morning comes

Well… the music is jammin

Man, all over town

And, rollin in the grass

Don’t bring me down

I don’t dream about tomorrow

Don’t think about today

I’m jamming to the music

That’s jus how I pray

We’ll be movin, we’ll be grooving

We’ll be ridin on the waves

If the good lord is willing

Darlin we’ll be saved

We’ll be rollin, we’ll be strollin

We’ll be slammin, we’ll be jammin

We’ll be smoking, we’ll be token

We’ll be livin life right

We’ll be huggin, we’ll be kissin

We’ll be cookin in the kitchen

Baby, rollin in the grass

Don’t bring me down

Me and my baby, we’re paintin the town

And rollin in the grass

Don’t bring me down.

Well the summer could be sizzlin

The rain it could be drizzling

The traffic could be goin

And our blood it could be flowin

Me and my baby we’re a shakin the crowd

And rollin in the grass

Don’t bring me down

My shoes are on the porch

With the grass between my toes

Aw, your lips are sweet as honey

And you’re smellin like a rose

Yea we’re livin life good

And we’re livin life right

Baby, rollin in the grass

Don’t bring me down

We’ll be jumpin, we’ll be bumpin

We’ll be movin, we’ll be groovin

We’ll be singin, we’ll swingin

We’ll be doin what we’re doin

Me and my baby gonna do the run around

And rollin in the grass

Don’t bring me down.

Well I knew a chap

That never grew up

He was runnin all around

Like a frisky little pup

He was dancing all around

Till the early mornin light

Cause the music is good

and the music is right

If you wanna have some fun

you better hit the ground

Cause rollin in the grass

Don’t bring me down

I said, rollin in the grass

Don’t bring me down.

Baby, rollin in the grass

Don’t bring me down

Yea, rollin in the grass

Don’t bring me down

Ohh, rollin in the grass

Don’t bring me down

Gonna party all night

Like a crazy old clown

Baby, rollin in the grass

Don’t bring me down
