Mellencamp, John - Rooty Toot Toot Lyrics
Got my hands on a little bit of dough
So I went to the grocery store
And got some steaks to go
Went by and picked up my gal, Teddi Jo
We had ourselves a picnic
[Chorus:]
Rooty toot toot
Rooty toot toot
We had it made in the shade
Like a ball through the hoop
Spinnin' and tumblin' inside this hoola hoop
Livin' and learnin'
Rooty toot toot
And started a fire
Had the radio playin'
From inside the car
I took off my shirt and kicked off my shoes
She read the paper
And told me the news
She said, there's a lot of people out there
Who are at the end of their rope
Sometimes baby
You've got to lay low
[Chorus]
We stayed there all day
We both got us some real good suntans
I thought that was ok
Sometimes life can be so grand
We were gettin' ready
To shake out of that place
When the Illinois state trooper
Got in my face
He said, You're on private property
But once he cooled down he was ok
Sometimes you're golden, man
That's all I got to say
[Chorus]

Classic.. 🌹💖
My brother had the album - Lonesome Jubilee. I picked up this single. Great song!
I like Mellencamp, he has had some great tracks. But this song isn't one of them.
Although I didn't get the chance to live through the 80's my connection to it is so strong I am convinced I lived a past-life during that decade.
The red rock of the White Buffalo Woman's sacred pipe is lava rock; it's best to wash it out first via boiling water, so as not to inhale dust and other potential contaminants. I hope that's a fair trade.👌🌻😁
Susanna Hoffs: It would be much appreciated, if you would compose and musically perform/record a rendition of "The Song of Moses (preferably 1611 KJV)". A joint venture with John Mellencamp, could possibly be the most fruitful, in this one's opinion. If you were to arrange this, I would be most indebted to you. You're probably my favorite artist.
Amazing how rocking this is, with the accordion and fiddle running through it. Just loved the stanza with the IL state trooper...pure Americana and pure John Mellencamp. Keep rocking, Mr M.
Let go for it
by far, my favorite johnny cougar tune... --a boy from illinois
Sorry...not one of his better songs..
LOVE THAT CAR!!!!
you Can. Have Bruce Ill Take John anyday
Why is an Illinois State trooper in Rockford, IN?
OUT OF HIS JURISDICTION
Dance off LOL!!
He looks like Eddie Van Halen with sunglasses. Lol
Fuck you & your commercial loving channel
Ah......life's simple pleasures!
Underrated song from one of the best albums ever. Eighties Mellencamp is the best Mellencamp.
Well, at least three of his '90s albums are masterpieces too - Human Wheels, Mr Happy-go-lucky and John Mellencamp.
*Human Wheels* just may be one of the greatest albums ever made.
perche' you are the people non e' disponibile???...piu'preziosa delle altre????!
I'm Only Here Because Of The 1958 Chevy Impala !!
been listening to JM for 35 years, and still do Damm good music till this day. John keep the music coming.
You did well Vicki! Such a great video!
Vicky was so beautiful!

XPECTACULAR THIS SONG IS SIMPLY....AWESOME.....AMAZING....!!!!ITS ONLY ROCK´´NROLL...BUT I LIKE IT........!!!!
Rooty toot toot root my boot AHHHWWOOOOO!!!!!!
A fun song!
Heh, three on the tree.
Picked up the single disc years ago. Still like the song. Thanks for post!
One of his best!
I didn't even mean to pause at 1:21 I swear but now I kinda like it LOL
+Mr.Sickboy that ok i kinda like it too :)
I remember listening to this song at the end of The Lonesome Jubilee and thinking that Mellencamp could pack it in after this song, since it kinda summed it all up, in a neat package for him.
Just have fun.. Love it!!! ♥
What a great song, oh and album, one of my faves absolutely, i can relate to so much, thx for these tunes John boy.....ur a legend..
Hot damn thing!!!!!!!!!!! Whew!
John Mellencamp should grow his hair long again!
He is letting his forehead grow long instead.
Basic backbeat, predictable chord changes, nonsense acapella mixed in with simple lyrics about simple subjects...... they sure knew how to sell a song to the 30-something Baby Boomer crowd.
And you could dance to it, a lost art.
This song reminds me of my ex-boyfriend years ago. We had ourselves a picnic beside a dirt road. We had good suntans!! Good song.
I'm fairly certain that the girl is John's second wife, Vicki (Granucci) Mellencamp. They have 2 daughters, Teddi Jo and Justice.
Yes. She is also in the Jack and Diane video and a few others I believe.
@JEH78 The daughter in in Pink Houses and Now More than Ever(with the cig) vids.
I think her youtube is missmellencamp
Mellencamp sings about real life!!! Been there done that!!!!
i think i listened to this 20 times tonite...thanks JCM!
Draft John Mellencamp to perform at 2012 Superbowl halftime (provided there is a Superbowl). E-mail the NFL or join the Facebook groups! Lets make it happen Mellencam fans!!
Sometimes your Golden man!!
For your information, the car in the vid is a 1958 Chevrolet Impala convertible.
Go Bro, Go
Love John. It's just so laid back american good times.
58 chevy
What automobil marque is the white convertible he's riding in the vid?
That's a 1958 Impala that he bought from a guy my dad knew in Ohio.
So many memories when I hear this tune!
