Back on My Feet Again |
| Doctor, let me tell you something about myself |
| I’m a college man and I’m very wealthy |
| I’ve got no time to trifle with trash like you |
| Cause I must be 'bout my business |
| My brother’s a machinist in a textile mill |
| And he makes more money than you ever will |
| He just got married to a Polish girl |
| With a space between her teeth |
| My sister’s a dancer up in Baltimore |
| At a small cafe on Main |
| But she ran off with a Negro from the Eastern Shore |
| Dr., she didn’t even know his name |
| Get me back on my feet again |
| Back on my feet again |
| Open the door and set me free |
| Get me back on my feet again |
| He took her down to Mobile in a railroad train |
| He said, «Driver, take me to the Hotel Paree» |
| He went into the washroom |
| Washed his face and hands |
| When he come out he was white as you and me |
| He said, «Girl, I ain’t a Negro I’m a millionaire |
| As you can plainly see |
| So many women were after my money |
| But I’m proud to say that you were only after me |
| «I'm going to teach you to play polo and how to water ski |
| And you won’t have to dance no more |
| And I no longer have to pretend to be |
| A Negro from the Eastern Shore.» |
| Doctor, Doctor, what you say |
| How 'bout letting me out today? |
| Ain’t no reason for me to stay |
| Everybody’s so far away |
| Get me back on my feet again |
| Back on my feet again |
| Open the door and set me free |
| Get me back on my feet again |
