Lyrics No Soap, No Hope Blues (07-?-52) - Anita O'Day

No Soap, No Hope Blues (07-?-52)

I’ve got a soap dish but ain’t got no soap
I’ve got a hope chest but I ain’t got no hope
I’ve got a moustrap — no mouse
I’ve got a household a — no house
I’ve got a the no soap, no hope, no mouse, no house blues
I’ve got a floor mat but i ain’t' got no floor
I’ve got a doorknob but I ain’t got no door
I’ve got a teapot — no tea
I’ve got a keyhole — no key
I’ve got the no floor, no door, no tea, no key blues
Oh I’ve got a right to cry and do I cry, why yes indeed
'Cause I haven’t got a lot at home, I’ve got I sure don’t need
I’ve got a soap dish but ain’t got no soap
I’ve got a hope chest but I ain’t got no hope
I’ve got a moustrap — no mouse
I’ve got a household a — no house
I’ve got a the no soap, no hope, no mouse, no house Blues
I’ve got the blues
Oh I’ve got a right to cry and do I cry, why yes indeed
'Cause I haven’t got a lot at home, I’ve got I sure don’t need
I’ve got a soap dish but ain’t got no soap
I’ve got a hope chest but I ain’t got no hope
I’ve got a moustrap — no mouse
I’ve got a household a — no house
I’ve got a the no soap, no hope, no mouse, no house
No floor, no door, no tea, no key blues
