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.
