  • Well they moved on down
    And they crawled around
    Walkin' sideways
    Sideway walkin'
    Give me the blues

    And you start to scratch
    When they start to hatch
    Walkin' sideways
    Sideway walkin'
    Give me the blues

    Oh, but when they start to bite
    Then it's time you saw the light
    For an appointment, I know
    Before you start to scream
    That's when you apply the cream
    Blues ointment

    Oh well the doctor said
    "We got to make 'em dead"
    Walkin' sideways
    Sideway walkin'
    Give me the blues

    And when you start to scream
    That's when you apply the cream
    Blues ointment

    And when they start to itch
    You go out and take the bitch
    For an appointment

    Well you rub it on
    And you rub it in
    Stops 'em walking
    Sideway walkin'
    Give them the blues

    Sideway walkin'
    Sideway walkin'
    They got the blues
    Give them the blues
    They got the blues
    Give them the blues Writer/s: ANGUS MCKINNON YOUNG, MALCOLM MITCHELL YOUNG, RONALD BELFORD SCOTT
