(Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back)
(No more, no more, no more, no more)
(Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back no more)
What you say?
(Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back)
(No more, no more, no more, no more)
(Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back no more)
Woah, woman, oh, woman, don't treat me so mean
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen
I guess if you said so
I'd have to pack my things and go (that's right)
(Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back)
(No more, no more, no more, no more)
(Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back no more)
What you say?
(Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back)
(No more, no more, no more, no more)
(Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back no more)
Now, baby, listen, baby, don't ya treat me this way
'Cause I'll be back on my feet some day
(Don't care if you do, 'cause it's understood)
(You ain't got no money, you just ain't no good)
Well, I guess if you say so
I'd have to pack my things and go (that's right)
(Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back)
(No more, no more, no more, no more)
(Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back no more)
What you say?
(Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back)
(No more, no more, no more, no more)
(Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back no more)
Well
(Don't you come back no more)
Uh, what you say?
(Don't you come back no more)
I didn't understand you!
(Don't you come back no more)
You can't mean that!
(Don't you come back no more)
Oh, no, baby, please!
(Don't you come back no more)
What you tryin' to do to me?
(Don't you come back no more)
Oh, don't treat me like that!
(Don't you come back no more)
