Put It Right Here (03-20-28) |
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 |
