My chair rock-rocks by the door all day
But nobody ever stops my way
Nobody ever stops by my way
My teef chaw-chaw on an old ham bone an'
I do the dishes all alone
I do the dishes all by my lone
My feet clop-clop on the hardwood floor ‘cause
I won’t buy love at the hardware store
I don't want love from the mercantile store
Now the clock tick-tocks by my single bed while
The moon looks down on my sleepless head
While the moon grins down at an ole fool's head
