The Cats Got The Measles
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now the cat's got the measles: Dog's got the whooping
Cough
Doggone a man: Let a woman be his boss
Now I ain't no devil: Crawl in a lion's den
But my chief occupation: Taking women from their
Monkey‑men
Says I ain't good‑looking: My teeth don't shine like
Pearls
But I've got something babe: To carry me through this
Big darn world
Now I think I heard a rumbling: Deep down in the ground
Well it must have been the devil: Chaining my good gal
Down
Now the men don't like me: Just because I speak my mind
But the women cry papa: Just because I take my time
