Me and my baby
Keeps falling out
Let me tell you
What it’s all about

She wanna sell my monkey
She wanna sell my monkey
She wanna sell my monkey
But that’ll never do

It used to be hers
But she gave it to me
Why she wanna sell him
I just can’t see

She wanna sell my monkey
She wanna sell my monkey
She wanna sell my monkey
But that’ll never do

She wanna know
Why we don’t get along
She don’t realize
She’s doing me wrong

She wanna sell my monkey
She wanna sell my monkey
She wanna sell my monkey
But that’ll never do

I have to hang around
Every day and night
I can’t trust the girl
Out of my sight

She wanna sell my monkey
She wanna sell my monkey
She wanna sell my monkey
But that’ll never do
But that’ll never do

Hello baby, I’m so glad to be back
I got the blues for you, baby, that’s a natural fact
Now since I’m back let’s get into our act

I love you, baby, more than words can say
You know I’ve missed you while I was away
Now, since I’m back, baby, now it’s time to play

Let’s rock, roll, while I sing
For you my love I’ll do anything
You got to shake your boogie
I’m gonna shake mine too
You’re a sweet little angel
Got a whole lot of loving for you

Come on let’s swing
Let’s have a ball
If you shake it, you can make it
Let’s dance
Let’s dance

Ooh baby, baby you don’t move no more
Oo-wee baby, you don’t move no more
I believe, baby I believe I’m gonna let you go

Lord, early in the mornin’, baby
You don’t wash my face like you used to do
Well, early in the mornin’, baby
You don’t wash my face like you used to do
Well, you know baby, baby you know that’ll never do

Oh, if I should cry, baby would that do poor B. any good?
Well, if I should cry darlin’, honey, would it do poor B. any good?
Well, I hate for all my people to know baby
I’m the biggest fool in the neighborhood
I’m the biggest fool in the neighborhood

I’ve got a mean woman, and she’s always doing me wrong
Yes, you know she’s mean, and she’s always doing me wrong
I believe to my soul, I’ve got leave my home

She is a mean woman, oh, she never treats me right
Oh, mean and evil woman, and she never treats me right
Only go around every day, and don’t come home ’til midnight

Lord, if only, only she would treat me fair
Oh, if I could get my baby, if could only get her to treat me fair
Oh, she would own me, yes, she would own me anywhere
Oh, she would own me, yes, she would own me anywhere

Met a lot women who could love alright
But nothing like the woman I met this night
She’s dynamite, she’s dynamite
She knows what to do
And she knows what it’s all about

Now men don’t blame me because I’ve been around
I don’t understand what’s she’s putting down
She’s dynamite, she’s dynamite
She knows what to do
And she knows what it’s all about

Now she don’t drink liquor and very little gin
But she’ll show you how, you just tell her when
She’s dynamite, she’s dynamite
She knows what to do
And she knows what it’s all about

She’s got a peal handled pistol
A knife and a razor too
You can’t ever tell her, she’ll always tell you
She’s dynamite, she’s dynamite
She knows what to do
And she knows what it’s all about

Now you can whip it, whop it
Or hang it on the wall
Or throw it out the window
She’ll pitch herself a ball
She’s dynamite, well she’s dynamite
She knows what to do
And she knows what it’s all about
And she knows what it’s all about

I work hard everyday
Do the same at night
But still my baby
Ain’t treating me right

Tell me baby baby baby baby
What can I do?
Do I have to shut your mouth
Just to get along with you?

When I’m home at night
I can’t read a book
Without you being huffed up
Giving me a dirty look

Tell me baby baby baby baby
What can I do?
Do I have to shut your mouth
Just to get along with you?

She’s so jealous, man
Till it’s a sin
She don’t even trust me
Out with men

Tell me baby baby baby baby
What can I do?
Do I have to shut your mouth
Just to get along with you?
Just to get along with you?

Since I met you baby
My whole life has changed
Since I met you baby
My whole life has changed
And everybody tells me
That I’m not the same

I don’t need nobody
To tell my troubles to
I don’t need nobody
To tell my troubles to
‘Cause since I met you baby
All I need you is you

Since I met you baby
I’m a happy man
Since I met you baby
I’m a happy man
I’m gonna try to please you
In every way I can

Since I met you baby
I’m a happy man
Since I met you baby
I’m a happy man
For since I met you baby
All I need is you
All I need is you
All I need is you

I used to wake up in the morning with an aching head.
I couldn’t remember anything I’d said.
My friends told me I was getting out of line.
If it wasn’t for you baby, I’d be doing time.

Since I met you baby,
You’ve made a new man of me.
Since I met you baby,
I’m happy as a man could be.
Yes I am.

I used to think I was better than the rest.
Ain’t no doubt about it, I was no second best.
Didn’t seem to matter what was right or what was wrong.
I did some crazy things before you came along.
Since I met you baby,
You’ve made a new man of me.

Since I met you baby,
I’m happy as a man could be.
Yes, I am.

Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby,
I’m happy as a man could be.
One more time!

Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Well, since I met you baby,
I’m happy as a man could be.
Yes, I am.

Happy as a man can be.
You tell ‘em Gary!
Yeah!
Yeah!

I’d rather be sloppy drunk than anything I know
I’d rather be sloppy drunk than anything I know
Another half a pint, then you’ll see me go

My gal done quit me, for somebody else
Oh my gal done quit me, for somebody else
Now I’m sloppy drunk again
Sleeping all by myself

Oh I love my whiskey
Tell the world I do
Oh I love my whiskey
Telling the world I do
And my reason for drinking’…
Tryin’ to get along with you

Oh I drink while I’m up
Drink until I fall
I’m gonna drink while I’m up
Drink until I fall
If you tryin’ to stop me drinkin
Ain’t saying nothing at all

Oh, hey bartender
Bring another half a pint
Oh, hey bartender
Bring another half a pint
Two or three more drinks
I’m gonna raid this joint

Yes! I’m sloppy drunk again
I don’t care who knows
Yeahow!
Yeahow!

I’ve lost the right to say that I love you,
I’ve lost the right to say that you are fine
Yes, I’ve lost the right to say that I love you baby,
and I’ve lost the right to say that you are fine
I’ve lost the right to say that I need you like I do now baby
and I’m slowly losing my mind

Oh, you once told me how much you love me,
and I said God love us all
Oh, you told me once how much you love me baby
and I said God love us all
Yes, I was young and just a fool then baby,
and couldn’t hear the lovers call

Oh, now I’m all alone and here waiting baby,
I have no one to call my own
Yes, I’m all alone and I’m here waiting baby,
I have no one to call my own
Yes, you are just a fool each lonely heartbeat says,
now I wonder why was I born
now I wonder why was I born
