Lonnie Johnson - Cat You Been Messin' Around (1932) Lyrics

Now look here woman, you done lost your mind.
This is not my child, you bring me a better line.
'Cause there's something wrong, woman don't start that lies, there's something wrong.
I never had such mix ups in my family since I was born.

First it's loop footed and its head is long,
And it's been half nuts ever since you brought it back home.
So there's something wrong, I mean there's something wrong.
Oh, take it back where you got it, woman cause depression is on.

Now his eyes is blue and his hair 's brown.
You know darn well you've been messin' around.
So take that lie off of me, I mean take that lie off of me.
Woman you had a twelve-month vacation, so don't put that lie on me.

Now his head is nappy and his feets is long.
His eyes is crossed and his sight is gone.
You know there's something wrong, yes woman there's something wrong.
I never had nothin' like that in my family woman, since I was born.

Now I said it wasn't my child and you argued me down.
Now my eyes ain't blue and my hair ain't brown.
Woman you've been messin' around, yes woman you've been messin' around.
So woman get out of my face or I take my fist and knock you down.
