He Went Slippin' Around

Lyrics

Old Bill Brown was known around town
 For slippin' around at night
 He'd grab a jug and cut a rug
 Man, he'd really live it up right
 Oh, Suzy Brown finally found
 That old Bill was really hip
 She took a bucket of banana peelings
 And throwed 'em on the step
 And he went slippin' around
 Yes, he went slippin' around
 He went slippin' around
 Yes, he went slippin' around
 With a here and a there
 And he finally hit the floor
 never been done
 And it won't be done no more
 And he went slippin' around
 Yes, he went slippin' around
 Bill sat in on a game one night
 Not her didn't intend to stay
 His money flew from left to right
 And he finally went away
 His shoes went here and his shirt went there
 And he finally lost his coat
 He come home about daylight
 And in a borrowed peticoat
 And he went slippin' around
 Yes, he went slippin' around
 He went slippin' around
 Yes, he went slippin' around
 His wife said, "Bill, is that you there comin' in at this hour?"
 Then she let fly between his eyes
 With porpoise hearted flour
 And he went slippin' around
 Yes, he went slippin' around
 Bill, he had a gal downtown
 His ever loving best
 He didn't dream when he met her
 She would get him in a mess
 His wife found out
 That she was not idol of his life
 She put a stop to that ratpick
 With a great big butcher knife
 Now he's through slippin' around
 Yes, he's through slippin' around
 He through slippin' around
 Yes, he through slippin' around
 His spirit rose up from the grave
 And went floating through the air
 He heard a voice from down below saying
 'You ain't goin' up there, 'cause'
 You've been slippin' around
 Yes, you've been slippin' around
 Yes, you've been slippin' around
