You ain't no lady, but you sure got taste in men

C5 D5

That head of yours has got you by, time and time again

D5 Bb5

My arms and legs are achin' and my head's about to blow

C5 D5

And your back's been breakin' and I'd hate to spoil the show

D5 Bb5

But I just spent next week's wages and I'm right out of coin

C5 D5

But you want more and it's half past four, and they want to close the joint

And we can't afford a taxi, and it's too late for the bus
