lyrics
Down at Putah Creek
Put you hands in the water
So clear so fresh
And it tastes like it oughta
There are fish so big they can break your line
But you know you can't go fishing there all the time
Running with the wolves
Chasing jack to slaughter
Have a joint a rabbit stew
Cody said Jody brother shake that groove
Stake your claim buddy make your move
Down and dirty on the muddy bottom
And it's all summer long right into the Autumn
Down at Putah Creek you can't tell no lies
Everybody Choogaloo
Down at Putah Creek I met a good man's daughter
She taught me how to swear and she taught me how to holler
She gets down low 'cause she's wild and free
And that's why her old man he don't like me
He ran me off with a double barrel rock salt
And you it wasn't even my fault
Whenever I go back down to Putah Creek
My bucket's got a hole and my boat it leaks
The old folks home is like cemetary
With the young ones gone it's elementary
You can't go back home even if you wanna
Down at Putah Creek
Down at Putah Creek
Down at Putah Creek
Put you hands in the water
So clear so fresh
And it tastes like it oughta
There are fish so big they can break your line
But you know you can't go fishing there all the time
Running with the wolves
Chasing jack to slaughter
Have a joint a rabbit stew
Cody said Jody brother shake that groove
Stake your claim buddy make your move
Down and dirty on the muddy bottom
And it's all summer long right into the Autumn
Down at Putah Creek you can't tell no lies
Everybody Choogaloo
Down at Putah Creek I met a good man's daughter
She taught me how to swear and she taught me how to holler
She gets down low 'cause she's wild and free
And that's why her old man he don't like me
He ran me off with a double barrel rock salt
And you it wasn't even my fault
Whenever I go back down to Putah Creek
My bucket's got a hole and my boat it leaks
The old folks home is like cemetary
With the young ones gone it's elementary
You can't go back home even if you wanna
Down at Putah Creek
Down at Putah Creek
Down at Putah Creek
