John Lee Hooker 1961
from The Vee Jay Years 1955-1964 (Charly 82333-1754-2) &
Vee Jay No. 1715,
I read your ad this morning you, said you want a real good man
I read your ad this morning you, said you want a real good man
Now I'm here with you baby, I want to know your plan
When I'll be goin' to work, I have to wear my uniform
When I'll be goin' to work, I have to wear my uniform
I got news for you baby, I keep the darn thing on
Well I can't hully gully
, I can't do a
shimmy
but when it comes to lovin', I'm a lovin' little fool
Come on daddy, love me all night long
I got news for you Johnny, win yourself a home
Well go to the bedroom, honey fix the bedroom up
Well go to the bedroom, Johnny fix the bedroom up
Got a whole lotta talkin', Johnny wanna talk to you, alright

Note 1: believe that "hully gully" is a dance that was popular in the mid 1950's. Thanks to Jack King for this contribution to the list. Nic Tassi confirms this: Hully-gully is simply a dance which looks like the twist. I found that in a excellent french book "talkin' that talk" about jazz and blues slang. Thanks to Nic Tassi for this contribution;
On the other hand Bo says: Hully Gully is a nonsense word - the title of a song made up late 50's, 60's, name of the dance made up to accompany the song - was on Bandstand; kinda like Chubby Checker trying to repeat his "Twist" success with the "Hucklebuck" (which song was played continuously for 24 hours by WDRC in Hartford CT in an attempt to be in on the ground floor of this new but failed phenomenon). Kinda like Ram-A-Lam-a-Ding-Dong, Shimmy-Shimmy-CoCo-Bop, etc. Thanks to Bo for this contribution.

Thanks to 0 for these lyrics.
