One Monkey Don't Stop No Show

One Monkey Don't Stop No Show - Big Maybelle

My baby jumped up this morning

And sat on the side of the bed

He said I'm leaving you baby

And this is just what I said

I said I can't make you stay if you want to go

But it's high time baby that you should know

One monkey don't stop no show

One monkey don't stop no show

So if you still wanna go go ahead

And I mean every word I said

My baby thought I was jiving

And he went right out the door

He left me about three in the morning

I got me a man at four

Some women cry when their men bleed them

Dry long and slow

But I found out something a long time ago

One monkey don't stop no show

One monkey don't stop no show

So if he gets too big for his pants

You better spring that new one and give him a chance

I used to be chicken hearted

Cry when he'd walk out the door

Cause I was just young and stupid

Ha ain't like that no more

Cause I had a hard way to go

But I learned the score

But I'm here to tell you

And I should know

One monkey don't stop no show

One monkey don't stop no show

And let him do anything he choose

There's a million men who can fill his shoes

One monkey don't stop no show

One monkey don't stop no show

One monkey don't stop no show

And you can tell him I told you so
