Put It Right Here |
| I had a man for fifteen years |
| Give him his room and board |
| Once he was like a Cadillac |
| Now he’s like an old worn out Ford |
| He never brought me a lousy dime |
| And put it in my hand |
| So there’ll be some changes from now on |
| According to my plan |
| He’s got to get it, bring it, and put it right here |
| Or else he’s gonna keep it out there |
| If he must steal it, beg it, or borrow it somewhere |
| Long as he gets it, I don’t care |
| I’m tired of fryin' pork chops |
| To grease his fat lips |
| And he has to find another place |
| For to park his old hips |
| He must get it, and bring it, and put it right here |
| Or else he’s gonna keep it out there |
| The bee gets the honey, and brings it to the corn |
| Else he’s kicked out of his home sweet home |
| To show you that they brings it, watch the dog and the cat |
| Everything even brings it, from a mule to a mare |
| The rooster gets the worm, and brings it to the hen |
| That oughta be a tip to all you no-good men |
| The groundhog even brings it and puts it in his hole |
| So my man has got to bring it, doggone his soul |
| He’s got to get it, bring it, and put it right here |
| Or else he’s gonna keep it out there |
| If he must steal it, beg it, or borr' it somewhere |
| Long as he gets it child, I don’t care |
| I’m gonna tell him like the Chinaman: when you don’t bring 'em check |
| You don’t get 'em laundry, if you break 'em down neck |
| You got to get it, bring it, and put it right here |
| Or else you gonna keep it out there |
