Well, I'm goin down to Rosie's,
Stop at Fannie Mae's.
Gonna tell Fannie what I heard,
Her boyfriend say.
Don't start me to talkin,
I'll tell her everything I know.
I'm gonna break up this signifyin,
Cause somebody's got to go.
Jack give his wife two dollars,
Go downtown and get some margarine.
Gets out on the streets,
Ole George stopped her.
He knocked her down,
And blackened her eye,
She gets back home,
Tell her husband a lie.
Don't start me to talkin,
I'll tell everything I know.
I'm gonna break up this signifyin,
Somebody's got to go.
She borrowed some money,
Go to the beauty shop.
Jim honked his horn,
She begin to stop,
She said, "Take me, baby,"
"Around the block,"
"I'm goin to the beauty shop,"
"Where I can get my hair aside."
Don't start me to talkin,
I'll tell everything I know.
