Well, I'm going down to Rosie's,

Stop at Fenna May's.

I'm gonna tell Fenna

What I have bought at Frenzie's.

Don't start me talkin',

I'll tell everything I know.

Yes, I will.

I'm gonna wake up this signifyin'

'cos somebody's got to go.

Dex gave his wife two dollars,

Go out'n try'n get some margarine.

Gets out on the streets

Mo George stopped here.

He knocked her down

And blackened her eye.

She gets back home

And tell her husband a lie.

Don't start me talkin',

I'll tell everything I know.

You know I will.

I'm gonna wake up this signifyin'

Oh, 'cos somebody's got to go.

Yeah.

Well, she borrowed some money,

Down at the beauty shop.

She honked his horn.

She began to stop.

Said take me baby

Around the block.

I'm going to the beauty shop

Where I can get my hair a shag.

Don't start me talkin',

I'll tell everything I know.

Ooh.

I'm gonna wake up this signifyin'

'cos somebody's got to go.
