| You’re shiftless and you’re lazy
|
| Just like the hound dog, Daisy
|
| I had when grandma raised me Honey chile, poor Granny
|
| Got too old to scorn me Dear old auntie warned me You sure was no good for me Honey chile, but your kiss
|
| Is sweeter than the cake
|
| That grandma used to make
|
| Oh them sweet little things about ya Sure enough takes the cake
|
| You ain’t gonna amount to nothing
|
| 'Cause you ain’t gonna work for nothing
|
| Without you, I’m good for nothing
|
| Honey chile, honey chile
|
| Sure 'bout to drive me wild
|
| And I love you so Can’t let go Now honey chile oh sugar chile
|
| I’d walk a country mile
|
| Just to be with you
|
| And to stay with you, now honey chile
|
| I try to act like a lady
|
| But you’ve been courtin' Sadie
|
| Your reputation’s shady
|
| Honey chile, hey you even took out Sally |
