[Verse 1]
CYou must bring me a job or Fmoney from Canywhere
You must Fbring me a job or money from anywChere
Caus I can Gget your kind of lovin' Fin the street just Canywhere
[Verse 2]
You come Chome every day Flookin' for your stew and Cbeans
You cFome home every day lookin' for your stew and Cbeans
And you have Ggot more nerve than any Fpot hound I've ever Cseen
[Verse 3]
CNow you take your money, you have your fun
CYou don't have nothin', when house rent come
And I'm Fthru, cookin' your stew and Cbeans
And you can Geat more neckbones that any mFan I've ever Cseen
[Verse 4]
CNow if you want me baby Fyou got to make your purse show Cdown
If you Fwant me baby make your purse show Cdown
And you Ggot to put your money Fdown where I got Cmine
[Verse 5]
CNow you're layin' up in my bed,  Fbetween my two white sheets
CI can't see and smell nothin', but your doggone feet
And I'm Fthru, tryin' to make a man of yCou
And if Gyou can't bring a job don't you lFook for your daily Cstew
[Verse 6]
CI worked hard from Monday Funtil late Saturday night
CAnd you're a dirty mistreater, you ain't treatin' me right
And I'm Fthru, cookin' your stew and Cbeans
And you's a Gdirty pot hound, Fdirty as any man I've Cseen
