I don't want you to think that I'm ungrateful, 'cause I'm not
I love you from your hair down to your toes
My Daddy told me that variety was the spice of life
And I'm a mushroom eater

'Scuse me, Miss Rose ('Scuse me, Miss Rose)
I gotta be goin' ('Scuse me, Miss Rose)
Whichever way the wind's been blowin' ('Scuse me, Miss Rose)
And the river is flowin' ('Scuse me, Miss Rose)
I got one outside, it's snowin', baby, yeah (Ah, ah, ah, ah)

I appreciate the things you gave me, yes, I do
We had some fun as far as good times go
It's just that I ain't used to stayin' in one spot too long
Yeah, the whole world's waitin'

'Scuse me, Miss Rose ('Scuse me, Miss Rose)
I gotta be goin' ('Scuse me, Miss Rose)
Whichever way the wind's been blowin' ('Scuse me, Miss Rose)
And the river is flowin' ('Scuse me, Miss Rose)
I got one outside, it's snowin', baby, yeah (Ah, ah, ah, ah)

Ain't like I was leavin', baby, never comin' back
One day you'll see me walkin' down the road
But I ain't ever wore a collar or a ball and chain
Yeah, the whole world's waitin'

'Scuse me, Miss Rose ('Scuse me, Miss Rose)
I gotta be goin' ('Scuse me, Miss Rose)
Whichever way the wind is blowin' ('Scuse me, Miss Rose)
And the river is flowin' ('Scuse me, Miss Rose)
I got one outside, it's snowin', baby, yeah (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
