When Jeraboah was a child
She used to drive the milkman wild
She'd steal his bottles to pay the rent
But I know that ain't where it went

Jeraboah, you're a fine looin' lady
You can get what you want with a smile
Goin 'round makin' everyone crazy
With the love of a backstreet child.

Those years of livin' out in the streets
Make that Jerabo' so sweet
That even when she'd steal your pay
You'd just smile and have to say

Now that the cit has changed a lot
But some folks still just ain't forgot
How Jeraboah would laugh and play
Make the smile and have to say
