I'm going down the road to
Stop at Fannie Mae's
Going to tell Fannie what I've heard
Her boyfriend say
Don't start me talking
I'll tell you everything I know
I've got to break up (Now if you don't...)
this signifying
Somebody's got to go
Jack gave his wife two dollars to go downtown
And get some market
Gets out on the street
Old George stopped her
He knocked her down
And blackened her eye
She went back home and
Told her husband a lie
She borrowed some money
Go to the beauty shop
He honked his horn
She began to stop
Says "Take me baby
Around the block
I'm going to the beauty shop
Where I can get my hair socked"
Don't start me to talking
I'll tell everything I know
I'm going to (...) this signifying
Somebody's got to go
He stopped his car, say
"Baby get in"
He didn't stop driving till he had the
Four-mile bend
I took the back seat (...)
I put it on the ground
No need to tell you
What she was putting down
