[ Featuring Louis Jordan, His Tympany 5 ]
You got a gal you love on Sunday
Then you get another for Monday
Ain't nobody's business but my own
You say you're always home alone
How come I can't get you on the phone?
Well, that ain't nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own
All night long you're playin' poker
Tell me, what's the name of that joker?
Ain't nobody's business but my own
I come over, say, "Here I am"
Then I hear the back door slam
Well, that ain't nobody's business but my own
[Chorus]
Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own
You tell me you're in bed by seven
But your light's on past eleven
Well, that ain't nobody's business but my own
Now you ain't so smart and you ain't good lookin'
How come you got so much cookin'?
Ain't nobody's business but my own
[Chorus]
And you wear the prettiest ties and collars
Whereabouts do you get those dollars?
Ain't nobody's business but my own
You always talk about settlin' down
When I bring a ring, you're not around
Well, I'll be there the next time that you call
Well, let's not fuss and let's not fight
I'm sick and tired of sayin' goodnight
Well, let's make up and hold each other tight
We both know we're birds of a feather
Let's go into business together
We can start a business of our own
[Chorus]
