It's a funny way to tell you baby, What could I do? I've been talkin to the preacher, And he sent me to you. There's a penny on the sidewalk, But you stepped on a crack Mama's singing in the kitchen, But she's clutchin' her back There's a funny wind a-blowin' Down the rays you your hair Everybody doin' cartwheels baby, But you're still in bed You can tell me it's your nature, girl But I don't buy that I can tell you like to lie Just by the tilt of your hat
One guy's laughing, One guy's weeping, One guy's twitchin' And you lay sleeping
Tell me why you sleeping baby One guy's laughing, mama, One guy's weeping, One guy's twitchin' down on the floor, mama Tell me why you sleeping baby
I've been talking in the kitchen, And I'm skinning a cat I know you you wanna see my jackknife, But I'm using a bat Put the mutton on the table, There's a fork by your plate Someone told me you're starving, But I know you just ate.
One guy's laughing, One guy's weeping, One guy's twitchin' And you lay sleepin'
