Papa Charlie Jackson - The Cats Got the Measles lyrics

Now the cat's got the measles, dog's got the whooping cough, doggone my soul, Lawd, Lawd The cat's got the measles, the dog's got the whooping cough Doggone a man, let a woman be his boss, doggone my soul Now I ain't no devil, born in the lion's den, doggone my soul, Lawd, Lawd I ain't no devil, born in the lion's den But my chief occupation, takin' women from their monkey men, doggone my soul Says, I ain't good-lookin', my teeth don't shine like pearls, doggone my soul, Lawd, Lawd I ain't good-lookin', my teeth don't shine like pearls But I've got something big to carry me through this pig iron world, doggone my soul Now I think I heard a rumblin', deep down in the ground, doggone my soul, Lawd, Lawd I think I heard a rumblin', deep down in the ground Well, it must have been the Devil, chainin' my good gal down, doggone my soul Now the mens don't like me, just because I speak my mind, doggone my soul, Lawd, Lawd The mens don't like me, just because I speak my mind But the women cry, "Papa!", just because I take my time, doggone my soul Now the cat's got the measles, the dog's got the whooping cough, doggone my soul, Lawd, Lawd The cat's got the measles, the dog's got the whooping cough Doggone a man, let a woman be his boss, doggone my soul
