VS: Who is there? LJ: Furniture man. [spoken words] VS: Ahhh, Ahhh shucks, I ain't got no money today. [spoken words] VS: Furniture man, please don't take my furniture away. LJ: I got ta take it, I ain't goin' to let it stay. VS: I'm a hard workin' woman. LJ: Yes, but you don't seem to get much pay. VS: Don't be so mean, give a poor girl a little time. LJ: You done had your time, and now it is a crime. VS: But I'm a good lovin' mama. LJ: Yes but you ain't got a lousy dime. VS: Furniture man, don't move my lovin' foldin' bed. LJ: I'm goin' to move it, or lose my job instead. VS: That's where I get my pleasure. LJ: Oh no, that's where you rest your head. VS: Furniture man, let me have another week to pay. LJ: I said no, hot mama, I must have some dough today. VS: Well, my man will bring some money. LJ: Well, he better bring it right away. VS: Leave my stove �cause it's gettin' too dog gone cold. LJ: I got to haul your ashes before they get too old. VS: Please remove that flicker. LJ: Then it will be red hot I'm told. Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
