Ernestine, you'd better leave my man alone, ernestine, because of you i can't go on,

I told you for the last time,

To find you a man of you own.

Ernestine,what you doing,you know it ain't right,

Ernestine,when you play,it make me wanna fight,

Girl you playin with danger,

And girl, this might take, it might.

Chorus

Riff/ i warned yo/u once

Riff/ girl without a/ doubt

Riff/ 2 strikes yo/u lose

Riff/ third strike you'/re out

Riff/ like a base/ball game

Riff/ you dancin wi/th a slugger

Riff/ i hit a grand/ slam,

Cause i'm a bad mmam duck

Ernestine, you'd better leave my man alone

I told you for the last time,

To find you a man of your own.

Solo (like vs)

Ernestine, you playin with fire, you know you'll burn

Ernestine,i know, where you come from

You refuse to listen,

But you ain't in the right school to learn.

Chorus

Ernestine,you'd better leave my man alone,

I told you for the last time, to find/ you a man of you own.
