Keep your back door locked, baby, keep your windows pinned
Keep your back door locked and keep your windows pinned
If your husband should knock, tell him you're cookin' and he can't come in
You ought to buy you a bulldog to watch us whilst we sleep
You ought to buy you a bulldog to watch us whilst we sleep
So he can see your husband if he makes a 'fore-day creep
Wake up, baby, please don't be so still
Wake up, baby, please don't be so still
Guess you're fixin' a good way to get your daddy killed
SOLO
What's that, baby, peckin' on your windowpane?
What's that, baby, peckin' on your windowpane?
Say, the stars are shining, I know it can't be rain
The big stars fallin', I know it can't be long for day
The big stars fallin', I know it can't be long for day
And I think it's time for me to make my get-away
