[Verse 1]
EListen here, folks. I'm gonna Esing a little song,
But you Emustn't get mad. I don't Emean no wrong.

Always Esingin' the blues when she Etumbles in bed.
Oh, it's Btight like that. AOh, it's Etight like that.E  
BHear me talkin' to you. AI mean it's tight like Ethat.E  
[Verse 2]
I Eknow a hotel that's called the ECumberland Patch,
Got a Emillion bedbugs just to Emake you scratch.
AMonkey woke up a Aquarter to three,
And he Esaid to the flea, "Quit your Epickin' on me."
Oh, it's Btight like that. AOh, it's Etight like that.E

And she Enever gets home till it's Ecomin' daylight.
AOld Uncle Bill came 'bout Ahalf-past ten,
Put the Ekey in the hole, but he Ecouldn't get in.
He says: "It's Btight like that. AWhat's the matter with it,
gettin' Etight like that?E  
Oh, Bhear me talkin' to you, AI mean it's tight like Ethat."E  
[Verse 4]
If you Esee my man, tell him to Ehurry home.

 AI love a man Aslender and slim.
When he Estruts his stuff, why, it's Etoo bad, Jim.
Oh, it's Btight like that. AOh, it's Etight like that.E  
Ah, Bhear me talkin' to you. AI mean it's tight like Ethat.E

Makes it Etight like that. EHear what I say.
BHear me talkin' to you. AI mean it's tight like Ethat."E
