Louis Jordan - You Can't Get That No More lyrics

I went out to get some groceries the other day From my neighborhood grocery store And before I could open my mouth The grocery man said "No" "You can't get that no more" "You can't get that no more" He said, "I sold all I had the other day It ain't me, Mr. Jordan, it's the OPA. You just can't get it You gotta do with what you got. Ain't gonna have no more for the Duration. Be careful with your food, son The hep cats used to stand on the corner in their zoot suits And them long chains hangin' down. All lookin' cute. But Things is very different now, since Uncle Sam has got some Japs To shoot. Uh, uh, the can't do that no more, no sir. They can't Do that no more. No more standin' on the corners day and night, cause Uncle Sam says that you got to work or you got to fight. So, they Can't do that no more. No, you can't do that no more You know the glamour gals has stopped glamorizin' They workin' in defense plants, wearin' slacks. And some of the fine Chicks is cuttin' out everyday. Joinin' the WAVs and the SPARs and the WAAFs. Now fellas, you can't get that no more. Uh, uh, I'm tellin' you Fellas, you just can't get it You can't jive these girls like you used to do Cause some of them is making more money than you I'm tellin' you boys, you just can't get that no more No, you can't get that no more You know the girls used to wake up every morning and say, " Lord, send Me a handsome man. One that's physically fit." But Uncle Sam's got all Of them now, and the gals has got to take just what they can get Uh, uh, girls, you can't get that no more Ain't no need to giggle, girls, you just can't get it no more, that's all Girls, you can't be particular You gotta take what's left Either them worn out 3A's or them beat up 4F's You just can't get it no more No, you can't get that no more
