I'm going down the road, stop at Fannie Mae's
Gonna tell Fannie what I've heard her boyfriend say
Don't start me that talking
I'll tell everything I know
Gonna break up this signifying
Everybody's got to go
Jack gave his wife two dollars,
to go down town, get some margarine
Gets out on the street, old George stopped her
He knocked her down and blackened her eye
Get back home and tell her husband a lie
Don't start me that talking
I'll tell everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signified
Cause somebody's got to go
She borrowed some money, go to the beauty shop
He honked his horn and she began to stop
Said: take me baby around the block
I'm going to the beauty shop
where I can get my hair "sot"
Don't start me talking
I'll tell everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signified
Somebody's got to go
