My Id and My Ego
Words and Music by Woody Guthrie
Contact Publisher - TRO-Essex Music Group
Ever’ time I see you shakin’ it around;
Ever’ time I see you wiggle it around,
My blood runs hot and my words freeze cold;
My id starts chasin’ my ego ‘round.
My id starts chasin’ my ego around;
My id starts knockin’ my ego down;
You shake, shake, shakin’ it up and down
My id goes to pushin’ my ego around.
Honey, every time I see you pacin’ this floor;
Every time I see you open this door;
Every time I see your neckline lower
My id and my ego wrastlefight more
My id starts chasin’ my ego around;
My id starts knockin’ my ego down;
You shake it up, you shake it down
My id goes to pushin’ my ego around.
Every time you snap a little snapp;
Every time you strap a little strapppp;
Every time you zip your zipper,
My id goes startin’ another scrap.
My id starts chasin’ my ego around;
My id starts knockin’ my ego down;
Every time you zippin’ it up and down,
My id goes pushin’ my ego around.
When you toss your nylones on my bed;
When you hang your street clothes on this peg;
When you warsh your duds from a hard day’s work,
My id comes aboxin’ my ego’s head.
My id comes a-chasin’ my ego around;
My id comes knockin’ my ego down;
Every time you go to hangin’ your clothes around
My id goes pushin’ my ego around.
Look outta my window, along my street;
See see you come a-pracin’ so sweet;
I see the biggest little battle that ever hit this place
My id starts a-trompin’ my ego’s feet
My id starts chasin’ my ego around;
My id starts chasin’ my ego down’
Every time you come here shakin’ it around;
My id goes to pushin’ my ego down
My id goes a-boxin’ my ego down
My id goes to boxin’ my ego down.
