Take It Right Back ('Cause I Don't Want It Here)

Lyrics

You came home about half past three
 Wakin' me up, papa, you was botherin' me
 Take it right back to the place where you got it
 I don't want a bit of it left here
 You just leapin' in rollin' drunk
 Smellin' just like you been with any old skunk
 Take it right back to the place where you got it
 Mama don't want a bit of it left here
 Please let me understand
 I don't want nothin' that is second-hand
 Take it right back to the place where you got it
 You can't keep a bit of it in here
 When I tell you that I'm good and through
 There ain't nothin' that your mama wouldn't do
 Take it right back to the place where you got it
 You can't leave a bit of it in here
 Been your cook but I'm getting you told
 You got the last of my jelly roll
 Take it right back to the place where you got it
 Child, you shalln't leave a bit of it in here
 You just like one of these old tom cats
 Always chasin' these, no-good rats
 Take it right back to the place where you got it
 You can't leave a bit of it in here
 Don't come shootin' your no-good salve
 You ain't got nothin' that I must have
 Take it right back to the place where you got it
 You can't leave a bit of it in here
 I ain't worried, I'm doing very fine
 You keep yours, and I'll hold onto mine
 Take it right back to the place where you got it
 You can't leave a bit of it in here
 If you think that I miss you, say
 That's just simply your DBA
 Take it right back to the place where you got it
 I'm gonna pick up the broom and sweep it out of here
