Now here ya' come baby
With your tail draggin' the gravy
Y' know your P's 'n Q's
What ya don't know baby
Is you're givin' me the blues
You got juice on your chin
Eggs on the drainboard
Pie on the wall
Dirt on the rug
I come home late
And I stumbled 'n swore
Ya won't even give me a hug
Ya had my things all laid out
Laid out by the door
I'm leavin'
I'm gonna take up with a mermaid
And leave you lie-lovin' women alone
Leave you lie-lovin' women alone
You said ya had it together once
Now your head's 'round the bend
I'm tellin' ya, woman
You better get it back together again
I'm gonna grow fins
And go back in the water again
If you don't leave me alone
I'm gonna take up with a mermaid
And leave you lie-lovin' women alone
Leave you lie-lovin' women alone
Now here ya' come baby
With your tail draggin' the gravy
Y' know your P's 'n Q's
What ya' don't know, woman
Is you're givin' me the blues
