Once or Twice

Once or Twice - Lonnie Johnson/Spencer Williams/James P. Johnson

Lyrics by：Bill Cole

Composed by：Bill Cole

I'm not greedy no indeedy

Don't require too much

When I want it got to have it

Else I'm holdin' Dutch

Just can't stand to miss

My baby's hug and kiss

Just got to have it once or twice

Oh what doin' things you ruin

Look around and see

There's a devil on the level

Drunk as he can be

Guess some gal done slim

An' put that thing on him

She must have done it

Once or twice

They will take you

And they'll break you sure as you are born

Good time Charly

All these Mollies

Be here when you gone

Just take my advice and don't stay on 'til light

What you do you do it once or twice

Four or five six or seven

That's too much for me

I just want a little butt

Then let the other be

Take more than I need

I'm apt to go to sleep

I only wants it once or twice

Sometimes twice

Is once too often

Then once is enough

Take it once

And take it easy

What's in bein' rough

Now when that's been tried

You'll find you're satisfied

You will only need it once or twice

This will get you

Take the pitcher

Goin' to the well

He went down there

Once too often

Then he went to hell

So this pitcher got

All broke up on the' spot

He went down

More than once or twice
