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

Oh, big conniver, nothin' but a jiver
I done got hip to your ji-i-i-i-i-ive
Oh, big conniver, nothin' but a jiver
Done got hip to your ji-i-i-i-i-ive
Slippin' and a-slidin', peepin' and a-hidin'
And I won't a-be your fool no more

Oh, my Linda, she's a solid sender
You know you better surrender
Oh, my Linda, she's a solid sender
You know you better surrender
Slippin' and slidin', peepin' and hidin'
And I won't be your fool no more

Been told a long time ago-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
I've been told, baby, you've been bold
