Cat You Been Messin` Around (1932) — текст песни (Lonnie Johnson)

Now look here woman, you done lost your mind.
This is not my child, you bring me a better line.
‘Cause there`s something wrong, woman don`t start that lies,
there`s something wrong.
I never had such mix ups in my family since I was born.

First it`s loop footed and its head is long,
And it`s been half nuts ever since you brought it back home.
So there`s something wrong, I mean there`s something wrong.
Oh, take it back where you got it, woman cause depression is on.

Now his eyes is blue and his hair `s brown.
You know darn well you`ve been messin` around.
So take that lie off of me, I mean take that lie off of me.
Woman you had a twelve-month vacation, so don`t put that lie on me.

Now his head is nappy and his feets is long.
His eyes is crossed and his sight is gone.
You know there`s something wrong, yes woman there`s something wrong.
I never had nothin` like that in my family woman, since I was born.

Now I said it wasn`t my child and you argued me down.
Now my eyes ain`t blue and my hair ain`t brown.
Woman you`ve been messin` around, yes woman you`ve been messin` around.
So woman get out of my face or I take my fist and knock you down.
