LYRICS

That’s where my money goes
To buy my baby clothes
Nobody’s business what I do
Nobody’s business, nobody’s business
Nobody’s business what I do

Sliced ham and pickled feet
Ham and eggs and sausage meat
Nobody’s business what I eat
Nobody’s business, nobody’s business
Nobody’s business what I do

Some day I’ll wake up crazy
Kill my wife and save my baby
Nobody’s business what I do
Nobody’s business, nobody’s business
Nobody’s business what I do

She rides the limousine
I crank the old machine
Nobody’s business what I do
Nobody’s business, nobody’s business
Nobody’s business what I do
