Lyrics :

Slippin' and a-slidin', peepin' and a-hidin'
Been told a long time ago
Slippin' and slidin', peepin' and a-hidin'
Been told a long time ago
I`ve been told, baby you`ve been bold
I won`t be your fool no more


I said them old folk connivin’
Nothing but a jivin’
Doin’ that happy old jive
The old folk’ connivin’
Nothin' but a jivin’
Doin’ that happy old jive
Slippin' and a-slidin', peekin' and a-hidin'
I won't be your fool no more
Hey hey...

Slippin' and slidin', peekin' and a-hidin'
Been told a long time ago
Slippin' and slidin', peekin' and a-hidin'
Been told a long time ago
I been told you been bold
I won't be your fool no more

I said, them ol' folk connivin'
Nothin' but a jivin'
Doin' that happy old jive
The old folk connivin'
Nothin' but a-jivin'
Don't that happy old jive
Slippin' and slidin', peepin( and hidin'
I won`t be your fool no more

Slippin' and slidin', peepin' and a hidin'
Been told a long time ago
Slippin' and slidin' peepin' and a hidin'
Been told a long time ago
I won't be your fool no more
