Don't Start Me to Talkin'

Well, I'm going down to Rosie's

Stop at Fannie Mae's

Gonna tell, Fannie, what I heard

Her boyfriend say

Don't start me talkin'

I'll tell everything I know

I'm gonna break up this signifyin'

'Cause somebody's got to go

Jack give his wife two dollars, go downtown

And get some margarine

Gets out on the streets

Ol' George stopped her

He knocked her down

And blackened her eye

She gets back home

Tell her husband a lie

Don't start me talkin'

I'll tell everything I know

I'm gonna break up this signifyin'

Somebody's got to go

She borrowed some money

Go to the beauty shop

Jim, honked his horn

She begin to stop

She said, "Take me, baby

Around the block

I'm going to the beauty shop where I can

Get my hair sock"

Don't start me talkin'

I'll tell everything I know

Well, to break up this signifyin'

Somebody's got to go
