Sloppy Henry — Say I Do It

[Verse 1] Mose and Pete lived on Greenwillow Street in northwest Baltimore Pete 'run with Mose, 'cause he powdered his nose, and even wore ladies hose Two could be seen running hand in hand, in all kinds of weather 'Til the neighbors, they began to signify, 'bout the birds that flock together [Bridge] Mose, he began to sigh, Pete yelled out his reply: [Chorus] 'Say I do it, ain't nobody seen me They sure got to prove it by me Can't identify a man with a cover over his head When a crab is cooked, he's bound to turn red It's true I use a powder puff and has a shiny face I wears a red necktie 'cause I think it suits my taste I know my voice is tenor, I reduce myself with lace And when you see me with the gang you'll find me singing bass They say I do it, ain't nobody seed me They sure got to prove it 'bout me!' Listen! [Verse 2] Your husband is the doctor man that told Miss Liza Lee They's got me a cottage out in the country by the sea Turkey's 'bout to recommend my breakfast in my bed Make sure that I will get it, he left a check instead They say I done it, ain't nobody seed me They sure got to prove it 'bout me [Chorus] 'Say I do it, ain't nobody seed me They sure got to prove it by me Can't identify a man, cover on his head Crab is cooked, he's bound to turn red It's true I use a powder puff and has a shiny face I wears a red necktie 'cause I think it suits my taste They say I done it, ain't nobody seed me They sure got to prove it 'bout me!'
