Viola Bartlette — Go Back Where You Stayed Last Night

[Verse] "Once too often" is an old time saying And I've seen it come to pass It's the fixer, the social mixer Has lost his gal at last "Who's that knocking," she said "After I've gone to my bed?" Hunt yourself another place to flop And let these words be a lesson, old top: [Chorus 1] Go back where you stayed last night Get away from my door Charlie is my regular now And I don't want you no more In another candy shop You can get your lollipop Be on the hop Papa, 'cause I'm through with you I've been a chump long enough From now on, I'm gonna be mean Find another station To get your supply of gasoline 'Cause when the back of your white collar is showing, that's all I'm able to see Then I know doggone well you're going Back where you stayed last night I don't want you no more [Chorus 2] Take it where you had it last night Move away from my door, call the law Charlie is elected now And he's in right sure I know you come around here looking for old Miss Nan Just as soon as you torn the seat out of your last pair of pants Now you around here preaching and whining and begging for a chance Try to make good, that's history, that's history Now, that old cedar chest You once called your trunk Along with those old worn-out socks I threw them in the junk Now when the door slams in your face It just means no talkin' space Go back where you stayed last night Mama don't want you no more [Chorus 3] Brother, I can't see you now, it's after six o'clock Not to save your soul, or whatever's attached for you Even though the weather's hot Or it's zero cold For my part, you can go out and sleep in anybody's field Anyway, you're just an old banana that has been peeled So take it where you had it last night Mama can't use it no more
