Ruth Brown - If I Can't Sell It, I'll Keep Sittin' on It by Ruth Brown lyrics

I own a secondhand furniture store And I think my prices are fair That is until this real cheap guy I know came in one day Saw this chair he wanted to buy, but he wouldn't, claimed the price was too high So I looked 'im straight in the eye, and this was my reply... If I can't sell it, I'm gonna sit down on it Why should I give it away? Now darling if you want it You got to buy it And I mean just what I say Now how would you like to find this Waitin at home for you every night Only been used once or twice And it's still nice and TIGHT! Whoa... But if I can't sell it I'm gonna keep sittin on it I don't see the need To give it away Now you can't find a better pair of legs in town And a back like this, huh, not for miles around And that is why if I can't sell it I'm going to recline upon it Why should I give it away? Because it's made for comfort Built for wear and tear Where else could you find Such an easy chair! Haa... Whoa... If I can't sell it I'm gonna remain seated on it I ain't about to give it away Because it's lush, plush, slick and sleak Darling, a high cla** piece like this At any price Is cheap! So if I can't sell it I'm a remain seated on it I don't see the need to give it away Now look at this nice bottom Ain't it easy on the eye Guaranteed to support any weight or size! If I can't sell it, I'm gonna sit down on it I ain't about to give it away Now, I have really had my fill Of folks always comin around With their hands stuck out Want something Don't want to give up nothing Now if you want this Put your hand in your stash And give me some cash If you want something for free Go to the Salvation Army Don't come to me Now this is not Saint Vincent de Paul's place This is Ruth's place Read my lips NO FREE TRIPS! --- .
