Lyrics
I keep drinking malted milk, tryin' to drive my blues away.
I keep drinking malted milk, tryin' to drive my blues away.
Baby you're just as welcome to my lovin' as the flowers are in May.
Malted milk, malted milk keep rushin' to my head.
Malted milk, malted milk keep rushin' to my head.
I have a funny, funny feelin' and there's ghosts all 'round my bed.
Baby fix me one more drink, and hug your daddy one more time.
Baby fix me one more drink, and hug your daddy one more time.
Keep stirrin' my malted milk, darlin', until I change my mind.
