Get Up Off Your Knees |
A trifling man came home one night |
And tiptoed to his door |
To his despair, his little wifie was there |
Waitin' to lay down the law |
Said she, «I'm thru, I’m really sick of you |
Get out, stay out, and be on your way» |
Well he dropped down on his knees |
Cried «oh, please» |
But this is all she had to say: |
Get up, get up, off your knees papa |
You can’t win me back that way |
Turn in, turn in all your keys papa |
You really goin' this time to stay |
I discovered that you’re the worst man in this town |
Looks like you’re fond of keepin' on going lower down |
Get up, get up, off your knees papa |
You can’t win me back that way |
Get right up off your knees papa |
I’m tellin' you, you can’t win me back that way |
Turn in all your keys papa |
Cause I put you out this time to stay |
You’re so blamed crooked, here are blades |
Looks like it’s a hard matter for you to keep your head up straight |
So get up off your knees papa |
You can’t win me back that way |
Anyhow. |
Stand up when you’re makin' your pleas |
No use you wearin' out your knees |
I heard someone say right next door |
Look mighty strange down there on all fours |
Stop it, down like that |
What in the devil anyhow can you be drivin' at? |
So get up and stay up off your knees papa |
You can’t win me back that way |
— Besides it looks suspicious — |
And you can’t win me back that way |
