What makes a rooster crow every mornin' 'fore day?
What makes a rooster crow every mornin' 'fore day?
To let the pimps know that the workin' man is on his way
We up before sunrise, slavin' sixteen hours a day
We up before sunrise, slavin' sixteen hours a day
We pay our house rent and grocery bills, and the pimps get the rest of our pay
Men, we've got to get together, something's got to be done,
we make the money, while the pimps really have the fun
And where there's only house rent and grocery bills, no mon, no fun
Man, can't you see, you can't keep a whole woman by yourself
Man, can't you see, you can't keep a whole woman by yourself
If your best friend can't get your woman, he'll frame her for somebody else
Something about some women, that I never could understand
Something about some women, that I never could understand
They not satisfied with a good husband, they want some other woman's man
