Now here you come, baby
With your tail draggin' the gravy
You know your P's and Q's
What you don't know, baby
Is you're givin' me the blues
You got juice on your chin
Eggs on the drain-board
Pie on the wall
Dirt on the rug
I come home late
And I stumbled and swore
You won't even give me a hug
You had my things all laid out
Laid out by the door
I'm leavin'
I'm gonna take up with a mermaid
And leave you land-lubbin' women alone
Leave you land-lubbin' women alone
Oh, you said you had it together once
Now your head's around the bend
I'm tellin' you, woman
You better get it back together again
I'm gonna grow fins
And go back in the water again
If you don't leave me alone
I'm gonna take up with a mermaid
And leave you land-lubbin' women alone
Leave you land-lubbin' women alone
And I hear you come, baby
With your tail draggin' the gravy
You know your P's 'n Q's
What you don't know, woman
Is you're givin' me the blues
