All Er Nothin'

All Er Nothin' - The Hit Co.

You'll have to be a little more standoffish

When fellers offer you a buggy ride.

I'll give a imitation of a crawfish

And dig myself a hole where I can hide.

I heared how you was kickin' up some capers

When I was off in Kansas City, Mo.

I heard some things you couldn't print in papers

And from fellers who been talkin' like they know!

Foot!

I only did the kind of things I orta, sorta,

To you I was as faithful as c'n be fer me.

Them stories 'bout the way

I lost my bloomers - Rumors!

A lot of tempest in a pot o' tea!

The whole thing don't sound very good to me.

With me it's all er nothin'.

Is it all er nothin' with you?

It can't be in between

It can't be now and then

No half and half romance will do!

I'm a one woman man,

Home lovin' type,

All complete with slippers and pipe.

Take me like I am, er leave me be!

If you can't give me all, give me nothin'

And nothin's what you'll get from me!

Not even sump'n?

Nothin's what you'll get from me!

Would you build me a house

All painted white

Cute and clean and purty and bright

Big enough fer two but not fer three!

Supposing that we should have a third one?

He better look a lot like me!

Yer spited image!

He better look a lot like me!

With you it's all er nothin'.

All fer you and nothin' fer me!

But if a wife is wise, she's gotta realize

That men like you are wild and free.

So I ain't gonna fuss, ain't gonna frown,

Have your fun, go out on the town,

Stay up late and don't come home till three.

And go right off to sleep if you're sleepy,

No use waitin' up fer me!

Come back and kiss me!

No use waitin' up fer me!
