There aint nothing I can do, or nothing I can say,

Some folks will criticize me.

So Im gonna do just what I want to anyway,

And dont care if you all despise me.



If I should take a notion

To jump into the ocean,

It aint nobodys business if I do.



If I go to church on sunday

And I shimmy down on monday,

It aint nobodys business if I do.



And if my friend aint got no money

And I say, "all right, take all of mine honey,"

It aint nobodys business if I do.



If I lend her my last nickel

And it leaves me in a pickle,

It aint nobodys business if I do.



I would rather my gal would hit me

Than to haul right up and quit me.

It aint nobodys business if I do.



I know that she wont call no copper

If she gets beat up by her poppa.

It aint nobodys business if I do, lord no.

Well, it aint nobodys business if I do.
