Three nights ago I was at a disco
Man, I wanted to bump,
I was raring to go
And this big fat woman, bumped me on the floor
She was raring to go, that chick was raring to go
Then she did a dip, almost broke my hip
She was getting down, that chick was getting down
She wanted to bump some more, but I told her, "no!"
You done knocked me down once (2x)
Said if you want to dance find you a big fat man
Y'all both can get on down, y'all both can get on down
Huh!
Chorus:
I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman (4x)
Lord, I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman (3x)
Somebody take her
She's too big for me
She'll knock me down
She came over to me, snatched me out of my seat
She wanted to get on down, still wanted to get on down
I told her to go on and leave me alone
I ain't getting down
You done hurt my hip once
I know what you'll doll ain't gonna bump with you !!
Tramp!
Allright baby you can call me that
My papa was
'Cause I never dug working
From morning 'till night
And my money didn't seem to ever come out right
No no
Papa was a tramp
But he was a lover too
So why can't I
Do like papa do
Like papa do
Like papa do now
'Cause I'm his son
Why can't I be like my daddy
Low down and nasty
Allright if you want to call me that go ahead

Just 'cause he don't take
If I ever do you wrong
If I ever leave you all alone
If I ever tell you a lie
And if I ever make you cry

Light on my pie
I hope a bee sting me over my eye
You know I love my pie
And I love my eye, baby
So you know I'll never do you wrong
If I ever make you blue
If I ever say I don't love you
If I ever make you sad
And if I say something that'll make you mad
Baby, I hope I slip
And break my hip
I hope a fever blister come on my lip
You know I love my hip
And I love my lip, baby
So you know I'll never do you wrong
If I ever break your heart
If I ever tear your dreams apart
If I ever say we're through
And if I ever walk away from you

You know I love my toe

FADES-
Well, hello there,
My it's been a long, long, long time
How am I doin',
Oh, I guess that I?m doin' fine
It's been so long now and it seems that
It was only yesterday
Gee, ain't it funny how time slips so
How's your new love,
I hope that he's doin' fine
Heard you told him,
That you'd love him till the end of time
Now, that's the same thing
That you told me
Seems like just the other day
Gee, ain't it funny how time slips away
Gotta go now,
Guess, I?ll see you hanging round
Don't know when though,
Never know when I?ll be back in town
But remember what I tell you
That in time your gonna pay
And it's surprisin' how time slips away
Yes, my dear you'd better remember
What I tell you that in time,
In time your gonna pay
I saw this old man with this young girl the other
night.
I walked over to him and pulled him off on the side,
And I said, "Pops, what are you trying to prove?"
I said, "I've seen you out here every night this week
with a different young girl wrapped around your arm."
I said, "You can't keep this pace up, uh,
"Because these young girls,
huh, oh! -- they'll certainly get you down."
He said, "Son, sit down here.
Lemme tell ya something."
He said, "All my life I've worked hard. Huh,
and I've saved up me a little money."
He said, "But just about the time I got me a nest egg
saved,
I became a widow man."
He says, "And I'm 72 going on 73 years old
and don't have too many more years to live."
Hah, he said, "I know that I should be ashamed of
myself.
Ha. "But --" he said,
"Young girls is my weakness.
Oh yes, they are." Huh.
He said, "So would you plea-ea-ease
leave this old gray-haired man alone.
"Mind your business. Heh-heh. Let me and this young
girl
have us a little bit of fun." Ehuh.
That's when I looked at him and I said,
I said, "All right, Pops, you got her.
"But listen, ha ha ha ha, here's all you're doing --
"Oh yes! Oh yes! Oh, you just --
"Buying -- buyin' a book."
(Buying -- buying a book.)
That's what I said to him,
I said, "Listen to this, here's all you're doing."
(Buying a book for some young man -- )
"That's what you're doing, heh,
-- to read.
"But don't do it.
(Don't do it.)
"Don't do it!
(Don't do it!)
"Oh, don't do it!
(Don't do it!)
"Send that young girl on home."
Mmmm-mmmm-mmm.
Then there was this middle-aged woman whose name I dare
not call --
Simply because you out there listening
just might know who this woman is.
But I can tell you this much:
The woman lives right here in your town.
I know you didn't know that, did you? Huh.
I saw this woman with this young man,
in the broaden day time the other day.
I say, "Miss Lady, you oughta be ashamed of yourself,
Ridin' around with this young man all hugged up like
this here." Heh huh.
She said, "Son, oh Son, you're dippin' in my business.
"But if you want to know why I fool with this young
man,
I'll tell you."
She said, "I was married to a man 40 years older than I
was."
Says, "For a long time I was true and faithful to that
one man."
Says, "And last year he died and willed me a whole
lotta money.
"And I know that that young man sittin' in my car
just wants me for my money. Uh-huh."
She said, "But if that's what it takes to keep the
young, fine thing
-- oh ho! -- he can get every single dime.
"Because it ain't nothin' an old man can do for me,
but show me which way a young man went." Hah hah!
Oh Lord! Oh! Oh!
Here's what I said, huh
I said, "You're just --
Buying --
(Buying-- )
That's all you're doin' --
(-- buying a book.)
That's what I told her, huh
"Listen, Miss Lady, here's all you're doin' -- uh!
(Buying a book for some young girl --)
"You oughta quit it, huh --
-- to read."
(Don't do it.)
I said, "That's your car, drive him home,
(Don't do it.)
Give him all your money!
"I'm sorry I dipped in your business.
"I won't do it no more.
I gotcha, uh-huh, huh
You thought I didn't see ya now, didn't ya, uh-huh, huh
You tried to sneak by me now, didn't ya, uh-huh, huh
Now gimme what you promised me, give it here, come on

Don't hold back, now give it here

Woman tell me, where did you learn
To handle a man with so much ease?
After all of his life
He's used to doing like he pleased, yeah
You got me doing all the good things
That a man's supposed to do
I know a lot of men who wish they had
A sweet little woman like you
'Cause your kind is so hard to find
Woman tell me, where did you learn
To make a man feel like a king?
When all the time he knows
That he hasn't got a thing, yeah
Stand by my side, baby
And there's no limit to what I can do
I know some men who'd give their right arm
To have a sweet little woman like you
Because your kind is so hard to find
Your kind is so hard to find
A sweet woman like you is hard to find
A sweet woman like you is hard to find
And that's why I'm so glad that I got mine
Woman tell me, what do I have to do
To make you really see
Just how much I really love you
And how much you mean to me? Yeah
Don't be afraid to tell me baby
'Cause there's nothin' that I wouldn't do
I know a lot of men that wish they had
A sweet little woman like you
'Cause your kind is so hard to find
A sweet woman like you is hard to find
A sweet woman like you is hard to find
A sweet woman like you is hard to find
A sweet woman like you is so hard to find
A sweet woman like you is hard to find
Three nights ago
I was at a disco
Man I wanted bump
I was rearing to go.
This big fat woman
bumped me on the floor.
She was rearing to go.
That chick was rearing to go.
Then she did a dip,
Almost broke my hip
She was getting down.
That chick was getting down.
She wanted to bump some mo,
But I told her no.
You done knocked me down once.
You done knocked me down once.
Said if you want to dance
Find you a big fat man.
Y'all gone and get on down.
Y'all gone and get on down.
Chorus:
I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman.
I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman.
I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman.
I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman.
I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman.
I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman.
I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman.
I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman.
Somebody take her.
She's too big for me.
She done knocked me down once, down once.
She came over to me,
Snatched me out of my seat.
She wanted to get on down,
Still wanted to get on down.
I told her to go on
And leave me alone.
I ain't getting down
You done hurt my hip once.
I know what you'll do,
I ain't gone bump with you.
I don't feel like getting down.
Don't feel like getting down.
She just shook her head
At every word I said.
She wanted to get on down.
That woman wanted to get on down.
She did that dip again
And I hit the floor again.
She was getting down, Lord,
That woman was gettin down.
Chorus
Somebody take her.
I don't want her.
She done hurt my hip.
She done knocked down.
Done hurt my hip.
She done knocked down
Somebody take her.
I don't want her.
Say LeRoy,
You can have this one too.
This big fat woman
A man can say what he won't do
But if she really, really wants to
A woman can change a man
She can make him weak
Or make him strong
Make him do right
Or she can make him do wrong
'Cause everything a man does
He does it for a woman
Hmmm, mmm hmmm
Now I'm not saying that this is true with all men
'Cause as you know there are exceptions to all the rules
But if you ask the average man what is he living and
working for from day to day
I bet nine out of ten of those men would say
They would say that I'm livin' and workin' for my little
woman
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Man can say that you can't tie him down
But if she really wants him around
A woman can change a man
She can make life bright
Or make it dim
She can give him children
That look exactly like him
Because everything a man does
I'm talking to all the lovers in the house tonight
Now listen, you know I want you to find out what's wrong
And get it right, or you should leave love alone
Because the love you save, it might be your own
People, I've been misled and I've been afraid
I've been hit in the head, ohh, and left for dead
I've been abused, woah and I've been accused
Been refused a piece of bread
But I ain't never in my life before
Seen so many love affairs go wrong as I do today
I want you to stop, find out what's wrong
Get it right or leave love alone
Because the love you save today
May very well be your own
I've been pushed around, oh yeah, and I've been lost and found
Given the sundown to get out of town
I've been taken outside, oh and I've been brutalized
I had to always be the one to smile and apologize
But I ain't never in my life before
Seen so many love affairs go wrong as I do today
I want you to stop, find out what's wrong
Get it right or leave love alone
Because the love you save today
Say man, don't walk ahead of that woman
Like she don't belong to you
Just 'cause hers got them little skinny legs
You know that ain't no way to do
You didn't act like that when you had it home
Behind closed doors, alright
Now you act like you're ashamed at a woman
Or you don't want nobody to know she's your's
But that's alright, you just walk on baby
And don't you worry about a doggone thing at all
Because there's some man, somewhere
Who'll take you baby, skinny legs and all
Now, who'll take the woman with the skinny legs?
C'mon somebody please take the lady with the skinny legs
Now, you all know the lady with the skinny legs
Got to have somebody too, now
Will somebody please take the lady
With the skinny legs, please?
"Hey Joe", "Yeah bobby?
"Why don't you take her?", "You a fool?
I don't want no woman with no skinny legs"
Look here, I thought I might give this woman to Clyde
But, no, 'cause I know the kinda woman Clyde likes
So Leroy'll take her, say Leroy? You got her
Say, miss, right here
Now why you wanna act like that man ain't yours?
Just 'cause he's walkin' with you, with them raggedy clothes
Man, just forgot to get his suit out a the cleaners, that's all
Alright, alright
Act like that man don't belong to ya
Go on over there and kiss him and hold his hand
Say you ain't gonna do what?
That's alright, you just walk on mister
And don't you worry about a doggone thing at all
Because there's some woman somewhere
The show must go on
Oh, one monkey
Don't stop no show
If you don't want my love
You're free to go
(You can go, you can go, you can go)
Life is a play
We play different parts
But to be a star in love
You've got to feel it in your heart
You've been acting to strange
You don't love me with soul
Well, there's lots of other guys
Who'd love to play your role
If you don't wanna be my leading man
Get out of my life and let me live again
(You can go, you can go, you can go)
Oh, the show must go on
Hey, one monkey
Don't stop no show
If you don't want my love
You're free to go
(You can go, you can go, you can go)
I said one monkey
Don't stop no show
If you really need our love
You'd better let it show
(Let it show, let it show, let it show)
Once we had a love
You couldn't live without
The greatest love that heaven
Has ever put out
Success has gone to your head
You wanna be free, yeah
Fool, don't you realize
Your backbone is me
If you no longer like your part
Get out of my life before you ruin my heart
(You can go, you can go, you can go)
Oh, the show must go on
I love you
But I can do without you
Arriba, arriba
You can go
There's the door
You can go, you can go
The show must go on
Hey, one monkey
Don't stop no show
If you don't want my love
You're free to go
(You can go, you can go, you can go)
I said one monkey
I want to hold you in my arms ‘till you say “turn me
loose”
I want to do little things to you ‘till you say “It
ain’t no use”
I want to wake you every morning with a good morning
kiss
I want to kiss you to sleep the same way cause I, I
know you like this
I want to do everything for you
Cause that’s all that a man can do
When he loves a woman like I love you
And I love ya, love ya, love ya
I want to say sweet things to you ‘till you say I’ve
said enough
I want to stand right by your side when the goin’ gets
tough
I want to mend your broken heart till you say the hurt
is gone
I want tostay with you always so that you won’t be
alone
I want to do everything for you
Cause that’s all that a man can do
When he loves a woman like I love you
And I love ya, love ya, love ya
I want to work for you every day ‘till you say “come
home and rest”
I want to buy you pretty little things so you can look
your best
I want to take you every where so the world can see
what I got
I want to treat you with tender love ‘till you say I’ve
got to stop
I want to do everything for you
‘Cause that’s all that a man can do
When he loves a woman like I love you
And I love ya, love ya, love ya
I want to do everything for you
Cause that’s all that a man can do
When he loves a woman like I love you
You had better hold on
Hold on to what you got
You had better hold on
Hold on to what you got
'Cause if you think nobody wants it
Just throw it away and you will see
Someone will have it before you can count
One, two, three, yes, they will, yes, they will
Listen fellas, you know, it's not all the time
That a man can have a good woman
A woman that he can call his very own
A woman who'll stay right there at home
And mind the children while he's gone to work
A woman who'll have his dinner cooked
When he comes home
Where some men make mistakes is when they go out
And stay because they feel that no other man
Wants his woman but him, but listen
If you think no other man wants her
Just throw her away and you will see
Some man will have her before you can count
One, two, three, yes, they will, yes, he will
Ha, ha, listen girls, this goes for you, too
Because you know I've seen so many women
Who've had so many good men in life
Men who would stand by 'em through thick and thin
Men who would go to work everyday and bring home
Their hard earned pay
Men who would give their women anything that their
Little heart desired
Where some women make mistakes
Is when their men go out and let 'em play
They would stay because they felt that no other
Woman wanted him but her, listen
If you think that no other woman wants him
Just pitch him out in the streets and you will see
Some woman will have your man before you can count
Three nights ago I was at a disco

Say LeRoy, here's this woman with them skinny legs again
She got a greasy mouth this time
Come over here and get this greasy mouth woman
She reminds me of them folks up in Navisoda, Texas
Eatin' barbecue and drinkin' red soda water on the 19th of June (laughter)
Look here, give me a piece of that barbecue
And kiss me with your greasy mouth (laughter)
I was talkin' to this woman the other day
Now here's a woman that was gonna quit her man
'Cause he wasn't makin' enough money on his job
Talkin' 'bout how much tax Uncle Sam take out of his money
She went on to say something like this
She say they take tax and more tax and they keep on takin' that tax
Why he take so much money from my man
We ain't got enough to relax
Well let me tell you one thing baby
You let that man stay on that ole measely job
and let him keep bringin' home that little $72.50 every week
And you keep that man
'Cause Uncle Sam is gonna get his baby
Don't you worry about that
Men are gettin' scarce baby
They're gettin' scarce as hen's teeth
You got some women their man ain't got no job
When I got your letter baby
I was in a foxhole on my knees
(Oh yes I was)
And your letter brought me so much strength
Tell you what I did, baby
(Oh, you won't believe it)
I raised up and got me
Two mo' enemies
(Oh yes I did)
Listen, that's why
I believe that I'm gonna make it
(Tell everybody back home)
I believe that I'm gonna make it
And baby I'll be home before you can say
Jackie Robinson
(Oh yes I will, yes I will)
Sometimes I wonder
Do you really love me
Then I'll think of something sweet
You once said to me
And the thought makes me feel
So good inside
I raise up and get me
Two mo' enemies
Listen, baby (ooh, oh baby)
I wished a thousand times
That we had gotten married
Before I left home for Vietnam
But then when I see so many of my buddies
Getting' shot down all around me
Makes me kinda glad that we waited
Because I don't wanna leave you
At home being a widow, no
I know you understand, babe
Listen darling
They promised me a furlough on the fifteenth of next month
And I want you to say a prayer tonight
That my furlough will come through
So I can come home to be with you
And tomorrow, oh tomorrow
Go by and tell my mom and daddy
That I love 'em
And for 'em not to worry about me
Listen,
'Cause I believe that I'm gonna make it
Tell everybody back home
I believe that I'm gonna make it
And baby I'll be home before you can say
Some boys say they like your eyes
I heard some boys say
They love the way they hypnotize
Oh honey, I don't know
What it is you got
All I know is that you got what it takes
Um, to take what I got

All I know is that you got what it takes
Ooh, to take what I got

They love the way you just drive 'em wild
Oh, I don't know
I'm tryin' to figure out what it is you got
All I know is that you got what it takes
Ah, to take what I got
Hah hah, you can get anything I got
Flashin' your pretty eyes
Man give a woman plenty of lovin'
Woman like that, yeah
Man give a woman plenty of lovin'

And when man seen woman cry
Man go to her and dry her eye
Man show a woman that he cares
And the woman gonna be right there, yeah
But a man keep a woman long
Man looks around and woman be gone

Then when man has to go away
Man woman won't go astray
Man can leave with a satisfied mind
That his woman gonna toe the line-ine-ine
But if man don't take woman out
He's gonna have a lot to worry about
Woah oh oh, some other man will take her out
Yes he will, huh
Oh-oh

Ahh, you said a bad word

She gonna whip you, too, huh
Yeah, that's what's she's gonna do
Get down at your bad self
Talking that bad talk
Saying them bad words
You said a bad word
You'd better take it back
'Cause good little girls
Don't talk like that
And if I told your mama
What you said
She'd make you come in the house
And go to bed
But now, wait a minute
We can make a deal
If you do what I tell you
I won't tell your mama on you
Let me whisper in your ear
I don't want everybody
Listening to our business
Come here
Are you gonna do it?
Huh, huh, huh?
Are you gonna do it?
Huh, huh, huh?
Are you gonna do it?
Huh, huh, huh?
Are you gonna do it?
Huh, huh, huh?
You said a bad word
And don't you forget
That you're not really
In the clear yet
'Cause any old day
And any old time
I just might
Wanna change my mind
Like right now
Wait a minute
Baby, we gotta make another deal
'Cause that last deal we made
Is gone bye-bye
Let me whisper in your ear some more
I don't want everybody
Listening to our business
Come here
Are you gonna do it?
Huh, huh, huh?
Are you gonna do it?
Huh, huh, huh?
Are you gonna do it?
Huh, huh, huh?
Are you gonna do it?
Huh, huh, huh?
Well, come on round the house
You said a bad word
Talking that bad talk, come on
All them bad words
You asked me
Do I love you
That's a silly question
Listen
If I didn't love you
Would I call every day
If I didn't love you
Would I act this way
So why do you ask
Do I really love you
When it's really so clear
Even strangers can see that I do
If I didn't love you
Would I worry so
Each and every moon
When you come and you go
So just ask yourself
Would I waste my time
If I didn't love you
Would I hope and pray
You'd be mine
Oh, baby, oh, baby
Oh, oh, oh, mmmm
If I didn't love you
Would I miss you this much
Put heart and soul to rot
Just for your touch
Would I be a sling
And a fool for your charm
If I didn't love you
Would I be right here in your arms
(If I didn't love you, love you)
Baby (if I didn't love you, love you)
He was the best marble shooter
That lived in the whole darn town
He never played in a football game
Where he scored under five touchdowns
No, no
He could run the 100-yard dash
In nine-five baby, yeah
Once a house caught on fire
And he went in and saved
All seven people's lives
(Chorus)
He was the one most likely to succeed
But a room full of trophies and silvers ain't what you need, no
You need yourself a man, girl
You need me baby
You need me baby
He was given the key to the city
When he left home goin' to college
Now he already had an A+ average but
He felt that he needed a bit more knowledge, ya
People were at the train station
Some cryin', and some brought him lunch
And I watched the ones that were cryin'
And baby you were right in the middle of the bunch
(Chorus)
He was the one most likely to succeed
But a room full of trophies and silvers ain't what you need, no
You need yourself a man, girl
I think you need me
Oh! I'm just a man that loves children
Oh baby, you told me that you love children too
Didn't you baby
Oh, huh
Now I know I can't run the 100-yard dash as fast as he can, baby
But I know I can provide for you
And four or five children too, yeah
Now he ain't ever comin' back for you baby
You read what the paper said
He called this a little one-horse town
Full of jive people, huh
I think it's success goin' to his head
Now he didn't even think to write you a bitty postcard, baby
Woo-hoo, try to see through it baby
And stop trying to be so hard
Now listen
I know he was the one most likely to succeed
But listen baby
A man full of them high-follutin' ideas isn't what you need, no
It's just a man, baby
I'm putting my vote in for me
You need me baby
unks:
'Moving out to you, now'
'Ah, I don't hear it'
'Hold it right there'
'I'm holding'
Spoken:
Say, man!
Don't walk ahead of that woman
Like she don't belong to you
Just 'cause her got them little skinny legs
You know that ain't no way to do.
You didn't act like that when ya had it home
behind closed do's!
Alright
Now, you act like you ashamed of the woman
Don't even want nobody to know she's yo's
But that's, alright
You just walk on, baby!

H'uh!
And don't you worry about a doggone thing, a'tol

(Try, Leroy)

Come on, somebody please take the lady with

Now, ya'all know the lady with skinny legs

(No, I don't wanna help that person!)
Will somebody, please take the lady with
the skinny legs, please?
(Ay, Joe!)
Yeah, Bobby
(Why don't you take her?)
She ain't no fool!
I don't want no woman with no skinny legs
Look here!
I thought about givin' this woman to Clyde
But, no
Say, I know the kind-a women Clyde like
Ol' Leroy'll take her.
Say, LEROY!
You got her!
Say, Miss Sweetie
Now, why you wan' act like that man

Just 'cause he's walkin' with you
With them raggedy clothes?
Man just forgot to get his suit outta the cleaners

Alright!
Alright!
Ya act like that man don't belong to ya.
Go on over there and kiss 'em and
hold his hand.
Unk: 'Go over there and squeeze your man'
Unk man: 'I'd like to have her squeeze my hand'
Say you ain't gon' do what?
Unk: 'I likes it'
(Unk man w/woman-like voice) 'I say later, ho'
'That's alright
You just walk on, mister!
(Thank you, you're welcome!)
And don't you worry about a doggone thing a'tol
(Hup, Hup)
Because there's some woman
Somewhere, who'll take you
Mr. Raggedy Clothes and all.
Yes they will.
Just keep on walkin'
