Satisfyin’ Papa |
| Lucy Brown, lived uptown |
| In a four-room flat |
| I mean, she’s a high brown queen |
| Don’t ever wear no hat |
| Lovin' Dan is her man; |
| Boy, he’s up-to-date |
| But here is what she said to him |
| Last night when he came in late: |
| Satisfyin' Papa, be yourself |
| Satisfyin' Papa, no one else |
| Knows how to satisfy me; |
| can’t you see |
| Your way of lovin' suits me to a T; |
| Satisfyin' Papa, you’re so kind |
| Men like you are doggone hard to find |
| If you leave me, I’ll be blue; |
| Don’t mistreat me, if you do |
| Someday, wait and see |
| You’ll come beggin' me |
| To take your love off the shelf |
| Satisfyin' Papa, be yourself! |
| Last winter, in the snow |
| Everybody in town know |
| Every day, rain or shine |
| I sure did make time; |
| I give you every cent |
| To buy clothes and pay the rent |
| You always had your way; |
| Don’t blame me when I say: |
| You know a good gal is hard to find |
| You know you think that love is blind |
| Someday, wait and see |
| You’ll come beggin' me |
| To take your love off the shelf |
| Satisfyin' Papa, be yourself |
