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 |
