Every Man to His Own Profession

Every Man to His Own Profession - Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five

When a farmer's farmin' let him raise his crop

When a woodsman's choppin' let him have his chop

When a porter's scrubbin' let him have his mop

Every man to his own profession

Let a doctor tend to ease and achin' back

Ooooh aye

Let a railroad watchman switch his railroad track

Let the laundry helper fill his laundry sack

Every man to his own profession

When a carpenter is sawin' on a piece of wood

Don't you be braggin' that you also could

He might hand you a saw and give a wise old call

You might start sawin' and saw your fingers off

When a schoolmarm's teachin'

Let her teach her school

When it comes to women don't you be no fool

When it's life in general here's a golden rule

Every man to his own profession
