Some Lyrics Stuck in My Head

Every time that we go out
All you want to talk about
Things I did and things I do.
What you want poor little me to do?
—Professor Longhair

Knickety-knock the wig's off.
—Professor Longhair

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes.
I have to turn my head until the darkness goes.
—The Rolling Stones

Oh God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”
God say, “No.” Abe say, “What?”
God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin’ you better run”
Well Abe says, “Where do you want this killin’ done?”
God says, “Out on Highway 61”
—Bob Dylan

My man is little.
He shaped like a frog.
But when he start lovin',
Ooo hot dog!
—As far as I can tell, KoKo Taylor added this to Irma Thomas' You Can Have My Husband, But Please Don't Mess With My Man. This is what I remember from a Koko Taylor album I lost in Katrina.

When fish scent fill the air, snuff juice everywhere...
—Howlin' Wolf - Wang Dang Doodle
