Don't Start Me Talkin

Goin' down to Rosie's

Gonna talk to Fanny May

I gotta tell her what I heard

Her boyfriend say

But don't you start me talkin'

I'll tell ev'rything I know

I'm breakin' this signifyin'

Because somebody's gotta go

Jackie's wife two dollars

Gonna get some '?'

Because she stepped out on the street, you know

ol' George slaps her face

He knocks her down

And gonna blackeen her eye

So when she gets back home

Tells her husband a lie

Don't you start me talkin'

'Cause I'll tell ev'rything I know

I'm breakin' this signifyin'

Because somebody's gotta go

She borrowed some money

Ran on down the beauty shop

You know when she honked the horn

You know she began to stop and said

Come get my baby

Goin' down around the block

I'm goin' down the beauty shop

And get my hair styled

Don't you start me talkin'

'Cause I'll tell ev'rything I know

I'm breakin' this signifyin'

Because somebody's gotta go

An' I ain't goin' no further, no!

She borrowed some money

Ran on down the beauty shop

You know when she honked that horn

I said that she began to stop and said

Come get my baby

Bring 'im down around the block

I'm screamin' down the beauty shop

And get my hair styled

Don't you start me talkin'

I'll tell ev'rything I know

I'm breakin' this signifyin'

Because somebody's gotta go
