I had a man for fifteen years
   Give him his room and board
   Once he was like a Cadillac
   Now he's like an old worn out Ford
   He never brought me a lousy dime
   And put it in my hand
   So there'll be some changes from now on
   According to my plan
   He's got to get it, bring it, and put it right here
   Or else he's gonna keep it out there
   If he must steal it, beg it, or borrow it somewhere
   Long as he gets it, I don't care
   I'm tired of fryin' pork chops
   To grease his fat lips
   And he has to find another place
   For to park his old hips
   He must get it, and bring it, and put it right here
   Or else he's gonna keep it out there
   The bee gets the honey, and brings it to the corn
   Else he's kicked out of his home sweet home
   To show you that they brings it, watch the dog and the cat
   Everything even brings it, from a mule to a mare
   The rooster gets the worm, and brings it to the hen
   That oughta be a tip to all you no-good men
   The groundhog even brings it and puts it in his hole
   So my man has got to bring it, doggone his soul
   He's got to get it, bring it, and put it right here
   Or else he's gonna keep it out there
   If he must steal it, beg it, or borr' it somewhere
   Long as he gets it child, I don't care
   I'm gonna tell him like the Chinaman: when you don't bring 'em check
   You don't get 'em laundry, if you break 'em down neck
   You got to get it, bring it, and put it right here
   Or else you gonna keep it out there
