I read your ad this morning you, said you want a real good man
I read your ad this morning you, said you want a real good man
Now I'm here with you baby, I want to know your plan
When I'll be goin' to work, I have to wear my uniform
When I'll be goin' to work, I have to wear my uniform
I got news for you baby, I keep the darn thing on
Well I can't hully gully
, I can't do a
shimmy
but when it comes to lovin', I'm a lovin' little fool
Come on daddy, love me all night long
I got news for you Johnny, win yourself a home
Well go to the bedroom, honey fix the bedroom up
Well go to the bedroom, Johnny fix the bedroom up
Got a whole lotta talkin', Johnny wanna talk to you, alright
