The Hungry Years Songtext

von Buddy Greco

Ain't nobody's business what I do
Get me a shotgun and shoot my baby
Ain't nobody's business if I do
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
