Whew! This the heaviest trunk
I ever seen. Lady?
What is it?
Here it is.
Here's what?
That trunk you ordered.
I can see that thing's too big
now.
Well, you ordered it.
Bring it in here; I'll try it.
[Coot's part sung:]
Standing in the hallway, my neighbors
heard me say,
Standing in the hallway, my neighbors
heard me say,
Aw, what did you say?
Quit pushing and squeezing; you
can't get it in that way.
Uh-oh, look what this woman
done said!
I'm calling the expressman, to tell
him that the storeman lied.
Yeah, call him up, he's there!
I'm calling up the expressman,
to tell him that the storeman lied.
This trunk won't fit my closet
because it's too big and wide.
What kind of trunk is that?
Listen here, Mr. Expressman, don't
let your temper rise.
Is that what you call it?
Listen here, Mr. Expressman, don't
let your temper rise.
My temper ain't risin', where'd
you get that at?
It's nice to look at, but really,
baby, it ain't my size.
You knowed that before you ordered
it.
Ain't no use to force it, I'll tell
you what I mean.
Yeah, let me know. Spit it out,
hot mama!
Ain't no use to force it, I'll
tell you just what I mean.
Yeah, come on tell, now, I'm
listening.
My narrow little doorway's holdin'
it halfway inbetween.
Yeah, it is a very small door.
I need it and I like it, but don't
make your mama sore.
I ain't tryin' to make you mad.
Get it if you want it.
I need it and I like it, but don't
make your mama sore.
Yeah.
I would use it in a minute, but
send it right back to that store.
