Gonna get up in the morning, do like Buddy Brown

When a man get hairy, know he needs a shave
When a man get hairy, know he needs a shave
When a woman get musty, you know she needs to bathe
I say, when a woman get musty, oh, you know she needs a bathe

I've got somethin' to tell you, make the hair rise on your head
I've got somethin' to tell you, make the hair rise on your head
Got a new way of lovin' a woman, make the springs screech on her bed
I've got a new way of lovin' a woman, make the springs screech on her bed

If you don't b'lieve I love you, look what a fool I've been
If you don't b'lieve I love you, look what a fool I've been
Woman, if you don't b'lieve I love you, ah, look what a shape I'm in

Says, I love my baby, my baby, Lord, better than I do myself
I says I love my baby, better than I do myself
If she don't love me she won't love nobody else
