Gabbin' Blues (Aka Don't Run My Business) - Big Maybelle

You better stop tryin' to run my business

(Look who’s got business)

Or I’ll have to do what I hate to do

(Go ahead and do it, ain’t nobody scared of you)

Better stop tryin' to run my business

(Somebody need to run it before they run you out of town)

Or I’ll have to do what I hate to do

(None you can do, never could do nothin')

Cause I’ll talk about your down and dirty

(Blabber mouth)

Everything I’ll say’ll be true

(I bet I’ll never let the kid out of the bag on you child, you’ll be ruined)

You know I know I know

(You don’t know nothin', know nothin' about nobody)

I even know when you were born

(When I was born you were suffering from old age, arthiritis, and loss of

memory)

You know I know I know

(Oh miss know all, you know nothin')

Yes I even know when you were born

(In school she was so thick headed they put here out, she was taking up too

much space)

And if you don’t keep cool honey

(Keep cool, that’s a threat?)

It’ll be so hot you can’t go home

(So hot now child, you can go back home, police looking for you)

Ha, You got that nervous down every corner?

(Damn every way I please)

Laugh at every passer by?

(I'll laugh at them as I see them)

Your faces lack material, I bet you never make them cry

(I bet your face will stop any clock)

Better stop trying, trying to run my business

(I'll run yours and mine anytime I feel like it)

Or I’ll have to do what I hate to do

(Came up here, just goin' on your head, that’s what’s the matter with you)

Cause I’ll talk about your low down and dirty

(I expect that from you, dirty anyways)

And everything I’ll say’ll be true, Hey watch out!
