Jimmy Buffett - You Call It Joggin' Lyrics






You call it joggin' , I call it runnin' around
You say you're losing weight but you ain't lost a pound.
While you're out joggin' with your other friends,
I'm home feeding the kids again.
You call it joggin', I call it runnin' around.

You call it joggin', I call it runnin' around,
It's the best release you say you've ever found.
Your friends all smile and agree
Yeah, you were runnin' around on me.
You call it joggin', I call it runnin' around.

Somebody said they saw you down at the corner
Getting out of some strangers car.
You come home after runnin' for hours
Ain't even breathing hard.
You call it joggin', I call it runnin' around.

The soles of your runnin' shoes they ain't wearing down.
While you're out runnin' up and down the streets
I'm tryin' to get the kids to sleep.
You call it joggin', I call it runnin' around.

You've been out since five p.m.
It's now thirty minutes past ten.
You blow in all out of breath,
Honey, you've been drinking gin again?

You call it joggin', I call it runnin' around.
Draggin' that silly old towel all over town.
You come home grinning with your hair all wet,
Smelling like shampoo instead of sweat.
You call it joggin', I call it runnin' around
Oh yeah,
You call it joggin', I call it runnin' around.

    Mose Allison cover.

  3. t.... ....

    I put Allison's version in my Buffett playlist with this cover. I'm not sure Loudermilk ever recorded his own version.

  4. k.... ....

    Me gusta mucho la música

  5. N.... B....

    It's on the "Beach House On The Moon" album, if I'm not mistaken.

  6. G.... W....

    Loudermilk

  7. A.... T....

    It was written by Mose Allison....

    A.... T....

    Mose is/was my musical Muse! Love everything he ever did, including this tune, but he didn't write the tune. He often recorded or played live, other composers tunes, with his unique Mose "style & arrangement". The song was indeed written by John Loudermilk.

    A.... T....

    It was written by JOHN D. LOUDERMILK.

  8. N.... B....

    It's not on iTunes or Amazon in digital format! 😕

    I'm not a Jimmy Buffet fan. At. All. But I love this song and nobody, nobody ever did it better than this.

    Thanks for letting me know who else sang it.  This is a recording from a Jimmy Buffet album; I just forgot which one, but someone else reminded me it is track 5 from Beach House On The Moon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach_House_on_the_Moon

    It is a Jimmy Buffet  creation. But I still prefer Mose Allison singing it lol

    @Martin Anthony Egan I put versions in my Buffett playlist. Written by John Loudermilk, buit it looks like he never recorded it.
