What Kinda Guy/rockin' Robin

I love some turkey, but I don't eat lamb
No sweet potato, but I do like ham
What kinda guy am I really am?
What kinda guy am I really I?
I kept my jacket, but I lost my tie
I'll tell ya truly that I sometimes lie
What kinda guy am I really I?
What kinda guy am I really who?
Don't wear pajamas and I don't sniff glue
I'm Mississippi, got the New York blues
What kinda guy am I really who?
What kinda guy am I really what?
I might be leavin', but the door ain't shut
I'm here for lovin', but I ain't no slut
What kinda guy am I really what?
What kinda guy am I really am?
I love some turkey, but I don't eat lamb
No sweet potato, but I do like ham
What kinda guy am I really am?
