I'm going down to Rosie's
Stop at Fannie Mae's
Going to tell Fannie
What I heard her boyfriend say

Don't you start me that talking
I'll tell everything I know
I'm going to break up this signifying
Somebody's got to go

Jack gave his wife two dollars
To go down town and get smartened
Get out on the street
Old George stopped her
He knocked her down
And blackened her eye
She get back home
And tell her husband a lie

Don't start me talking
I'll tell everything I know
I'm going to break up this signifying
Somebody's got to go

She borrowed some money
Go to the beauty shop
He 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 sot"

Don't you start me that talking
I'll tell everything I know
I'm going to break up this signifying
Somebody's got to go
Got to go now

Don't you start me that talking
I'll tell everything I know
I'm going to break up this signifying
Somebody's got to go

Don't you, don't you start me that talking
I'll tell everything I know, and I know a lot
I'm going to break up this signifying
Somebody's got to go
