I've never seen such a thing before [Verse Two] That was old-lady Dinah, she was sittin' on a rock Had a forty-dollar razor tryin' to shave that knot [Chorus] Now, what's the matter with the thing? Aww, beedle-am-bam Now, what's the matter with you? You hear me talkin' to you Now what's the matter (What's the matter?) I've never seen such a thing beforе [Verse Three] Yes, my mother taught me, papa taught mе too Son, that thing in Memphis gon' be the death of you [Chorus] Now, what's the matter with the thing? Aww, beedle-am-bam Now, what's the matter with the thing? You hear me talkin' to you Now what's the matter (What's the matter?)
