Rooty Toot Toot Lyrics - John Mellencamp

Written by: John Mellencamp 

Got my hands on a little bit of dough 

So I went to the grocery store 

And got some steaks to go 

went by and picked up my gal, Teddi Jo 

We had ourselves a picnic 

Beside a dirt road 

Chorus 

Rooty toot toot 

Rooty toot toot 

We had it made in the shade 

Like a ball through the hoop 

Spinnin' and tumblin' inside this hoola hoop 

Livin' and learnin' 

Rooty toot toot

We laid out a blanket 

And started a fire 

Had the radio playin' 

From inside the car 

I took off my shirt and kicked off my shoes 

She read the paper 

And told me the news 

She said, there's a lot of people out there 

Who are at the end of their rope 

Sometimes baby 

You've got to lay low 

Chorus 

We stayed there all day 

We both got us some real good suntans 

I thought that was ok 

Sometimes life can be so grand 

Photos 

We were gettin' ready 

To shake out of that place 

When the Illinois state trooper 

Got in my face 

He said, You're on private property 

But once he cooled down he was ok 

Sometimes you're golden, man 

That's all I got to say 

Chorus
