Oh, you aggravatin' papa,
Listen to Jenny Lee
From down in Tennessee
Tell about her man;
Come on, you lonesome little mamas,
Hear Miss Jenny shout,
Just hear her brag about
Her honey-lamb!
She had so much to tell;
They heard Miss Jenny yell, well:
My papa doesn't two-time no time,
And if he ever does two-time one
time,
Then he's never gonna two-time
no more.
I'm just a good-time mama, but gee,
There'll be no two-time papa for
me.
Say, if he goes away, he just goes
so far,
'Cause he knows he better not go
too far,
Aggravatin' papa, don't go far
with me!
What's more:
My papa doesn't two-time no time,
And if he ever does two-time one
time,
Then he's never gonna two-time
no more.
What's more:
I'd like to have a dime for every
time he's gonna hit the floor;
What's more:
He'll have to find himself another
little two-by-four;
What's more:
He'll never hear them singing anymore
about the Swanee shore;
What's more:
He'll find the undertaker's undertaking
all around his door,
Believe me!
My papa doesn't two-time no time,
And if he ever does two-time one
time,
Then he's never gonna two-time
no more.
I'm just a good-time mama, but gee,
There'll be no two-time papa for
me.
Say, if he goes away, he just goes
so far,
'Cause he knows he better not go
too far,
Aggravatin' papa, don't go far
with me!
What's more:
My papa doesn't two-time no time,
And if he ever does two-time one
time,
Then he's never gonna two-time
no more.
Wah-wah, ow-ow!
