| 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 |
