Words & Music by Junior Wells

What's this I hear,
There's a whole lotta talk.
The people say you tried to put the kid.

Hey yeah
Tell me what you did.
You can call it what you want,
But I call it messin' with the kid.

Now the kid plays hot
And hot don't pay.
I say what I mean, I mean what I say

Yeah, yeah
Tell me what you did.
You can call it what you want,
But I call it messin' with the kid.

Well tell me you love me
Tell me a lie
You know I love ya baby, 'til the day I die

Hey yeah
Tell me what you did.
You can call it what you want,
But I call it messing with the kid.

Hey, Elwood, Elwood!

-Yeah?

You wanna mess with the kid?

-Nah Jake, I don't wanna mess with the kid...

Yeah I know, I know that. How about you guys back here? You wanna
mess with the kid? Any of you guys, eh? How about you people out there you wanna mess with the kid?
***Noooooooo!***

Gonna take the kid's car
Drive around town
Tell everybody trying to put him down

Hey yeah
Tell me what you did.
You can call it what you want,
I call it messin' with the kid.

"Put" the kid?? Not quite sure. If you think different, let me know! Some think "quit", but I didn't think it sounded like that.
