There ain´t nothing I can do, or nothing I can say, Some folks will criticize me.
So I´m gonna do just what I want to anyway, And don´t care if you all despise me.
If I should take a notion To jump into the ocean, It ain´t nobody´s business if I do.
If I go to church on Sunday And I shimmy down on Monday, It ain´t nobody´s business if I do.
And if my friend ain´t got no money And I say, "All right, take all of mine honey," It ain´t nobody´s business if I do.
If I lend her my last nickel And it leaves me in a pickle, It ain´t nobody´s business if I do.
I would rather my gal would hit me Than to haul right up and quit me. It ain´t nobody´s business if I do.
I know that she won´t call no copper If she gets beat up by her poppa. It ain´t nobody´s business if I do, Lord no. Well, it ain´t nobody´s business if I do.
