I got a gal who's always late
Any time we have a date
But I love her
Yes, I love her
I'm gonna walk up to her gate
To see if I can get it straight
'Cause I want her
I'm gonna ask her
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
The way you're acting lately makes me doubt
(MS:)
I am still your baby, baby, baby
Oh, but it seems my flame in your heart done gone out
(JW:)
A woman is a creature that has always been strange
Just when you think you're sure of one
She's gone and made a change
(MS:)
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Maybe, maybe baby's found somebody new
(Both:)
Or is my baby still my baby true
(MS spoken:)
Now listen, I wanna know what the real deal be
I mean, talk to me
(Joe spoken:)
Rap on, baby, rap on, rap on
(MS spoken:)
Tell me what happened
I mean, who was that woman I saw you with last night?
And don't you tell me there wasn't no woman. I know it, I know it
(JW spoken:)
Listen, Marlena. Let me tell you this one time
If there is anything going on anywhere that is more fun than it is here, I will be there
And I am here
(MS spoken:)
You tellin' me the truth?
(JW spoken:)
I'm here with you, y'understand?
(MS spoken:)
I don't know about that
I don't know about that
(JW spoken:)
Rap on, baby
(MS:)
Well, I got a guy, always late
And anytime we have a date
Oh, but I love him
Yes, I love him
Now, I am gonna walk up to his gate
Shake my finger and just try to get it straight
'Cause I need him
And I surely am gonna ask him
Now, is you is or is you ain't my baby
The way that you're acting lately makes me doubt
(JW:)
You are still my baby, baby
It seems that my flame in your heart done gone out
(MS:)
I know one thing, a man is just a creature who has always been strange
Just when you think that you're sure of one
Look out, he done made a change
(JW:)
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Or is my baby found somebody new
(Both:)
Or is my baby still my baby true

I don't know
I don't know
It sound kinda sweet, but are you telling me the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
[JW scat]
(MS spoken:)
Oh, your story's touching
Your story's touching
[JW scat]
[Both scat]
