Psluff, top of the line
And they′re known for their luscious Greek beer
Psluff, top of the line
Psluff, top of the line
Psluff, top of the line
And they're known for their luscious Greek beer
Psluff, top of the line
Psluff, top of the line
Psluff, top of the line
And they′re known for their luscious Greek beer
Psluff, top of the line
Psluff, top of the line
Psluff, top of the line
And they're known for their luscious Greek beer


P is in the table
S-L-U-F-F was a man who lived in Idaho
Far away from all the rest of the world
He had a beautiful farm with a chicken and a cow and a horse
And lots of 78 records in the barn, of course
And every Sunday night, people gathered there
To dance while Mr. Psluff called from his rocking chair
He'd turn ′em to the left, turn ′em to the right
But most of all, he liked to rock 'em back and forth

Mr. Psluff rocked ′em back and forth
While rocking back and forth
Mr. Psluff rocked 'em back and forth
From his rocking chair
Mr. Psluff rocked ′em back and forth
While rocking back and forth
Mr. Psluff rocked 'em back and forth
From his rocking chair

Now, when he was a baby, P loved to be picked up
Especially when he was rocked back and forth by Mr. Sluff
They named him Patrick Allen, but they called him P for short
′Cause the first sound that he made was "Pfft" with a little snort
And when he grew to seven, kids would make fun of his name
But it didn't bother him a bit, he liked it just the same
'Cause it was the first letter of his favorite word "Please"
And "Pick me up and rock me back and forth"


Mr. Psluff rocked ′em back and forth
While rocking back and forth
Mr. Psluff rocked ′em back and forth
From his rocking chair
Mr. Psluff rocked 'em back and forth
While rocking back and forth
Mr. Psluff rocked ′em back and forth
From his rocking chair

Turn to the left and turn to the right
Yodel-odel-ay-hee-ay-oh, baby, out of sight
Oopsy-dope, walk down the line and then we come back again
And don't forget the rocking back and forth

Now, Psluff was an old man, all of eighty-four
But happy as a swing set when he′s rocking back and forth
But the day came when he died and everybody cried
And gathered in the barn on Sunday night to say goodbye
Then they put a record on, they all knew the steps
And they did a special curtsy to P's old rocking chair
Then it began to rock gently back and forth
And gradually it rocked more and more and more and more

Mr. Psluff rocked ′em back and forth
While rocking back and forth
Mr. Psluff rocked 'em back and forth
From his rocking chair
Mr. Psluff rocked 'em back and forth
While rocking back and forth
Mr. Psluff rocked ′em back and forth
From his rocking chair
Mr. Psluff rocked ′em back and forth
While rocking back and forth
Mr. Psluff rocked 'em back and forth
From his rocking chair
Mr. Psluff rocked ′em back and forth
While rocking back and forth
Mr. Psluff rocked 'em back and forth
From his rocking chair
Mr. Psluff rocked ′em back and forth
While rocking back and forth
Mr. Psluff rocked 'em back and forth
From his rocking chair
Mr. Psluff rocked ′em back and forth
While rocking back and forth
Mr. Psluff rocked 'em back and forth
From his rocking chair
Mr. Psluff rocked 'em back and forth
While rocking back and forth
Mr. Psluff rocked ′em back and forth
