Lyrics
I ain't here
You can't see me 'cause I ain't here
If you see these sprinklin' clothes
And swartened thighs
Don't believe your lying eyes
'Cause I ain't here
I ain't here
You can't bother me 'cause I ain't here
You can talk to me from now 'til judgement day
I don't hear one word you say
'Cause I ain't here
Mrs. Brown bought them hand-me-downs
You're handing down
Bought them scraps and day old bread
Oh, well, like I said
You can kiss my foot, my dear
'Cause I ain't here
I said that I'm with Jim
I ain't here because I'm there with him
You might see my smiling face
'Cause I'm some place
I'm some place, but I ain't here
No, no, I ain't here
Well, like I said
You can kiss my foot, my dear
'Cause I ain't here
You heard me, I said I ain't here
I do not intend to be here
Just count me out, sweetheart
Mrs. Brown, you sure bring me down all the way
Like it said earlier in the song, you can kiss my foot, my dear
Well, do you know what word you can substitute for foot? Haha
Need I tell you, my darling?
It has been a complete drag, all-
