Well,
the work whistle blew about half past five o'clock.
I saw the red light on the corner,
man,
I never tried to stop.
I got the lowdown by a man in blue.
He said, what the hell you trying to do?
I told him about my baby,
he let me go thanks a lot.
We're turning right into a party at a high school party room.
Oh,
there were women all around me,
man,
I began to drool.
With the average dance in town,
I said, girls, you gotta understand.
Since I left my baby,
I've been living by the golden rule.
Ain't nobody gonna make me shout.
Ain't nobody gonna put me out.
Ain't nobody gonna make me do what my sweet little leaves'll do.
Ain't nobody gonna make me sing,
make me do the wrong damn thing.
Like sticking my head in a cold,
cold stream like a sweet little leaves'll do.
I was pulling out a devil's got a lowdown by a debutante.
She was playing with the keys and I was being kind of noms along.
She'd take me up to the room and tell me all the news.
I got a sweet sugar mama gonna give me everything I want.
Because there ain't nobody gonna make me shout.
Ain't nobody gonna put me out.
Ain't nobody gonna make me do what my sweet little leaves'll do.
Ain't nobody gonna make me sing,
make me do the wrong damn thing.
Like sticking my head in a cold,
cold stream like a sweet little leaves'll do.
