Goin' down to Rosie's
Stop at Fanny May's
Gonna tell Fanny what I
heard her boyfriend say, don't

Start me talkin'
I'll tell you everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signifying
'Cause somebody's got to go

Jack gave his wife two dollars
To go downtown and get some market
Go down to the market
Ol' George stopped her
He knocked her down
Blackend her eye
She gets back and home
And tells her husband a lie

Don't start me talkin'
'Cause I'll tell you everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signifin', 'cause
Somebody's got to go, oh yeah

She borrowed some money
To go to the beauty shop
She honked his horn
She began to start
I said, "Baby take me
Around the block"
Going to the beauty shop
Where I could get my hair sot

Don't start me talkin'
'Cause I'll tell you everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signifin', 'cause
Somebody's got to go, yeah
