| I wonder has anybody here

|
| I wonder has anybody here
|
| Seen my lovin' Lorenzo, today?
|
| You know, we had a nice time Christmas
|
| But she left me on New Year’s Day
|
| Oh, you got to know her
|
| When you see her
|
| 'Cause she’s so different
|
| From any other girl
|
| Oh, you’ve got to know her
|
| When you see her
|
| From any other girl
|
| Because she’s made up
|
| Like a Coke-Cola bottle
|
| An she got a likeness
|
| It’s outta this world, alright
|
| You know, she’s stutters in her speech
|
| An she wiggle and she wobble
|
| When she walk
|
| She’s stuttered in her speech
|
| An she wiggle an a-wobble
|
| When she walk
|
| Yes, an she got three gold teeth
|
| An she got deep dimples in her jaw, yeah
|
| I say, 'Hello, Lorenzo, Lorenzo
|
| How in the world come you treat me this-a-way?'
|
| I say, 'Lorenzo, Lorenzo
|
| How in the world come you treat me this-a-way?'
|
| Darling, you know that you was gonna leave me
|
| But you didn’t tell me you was goin' to stay
|
| Now, if I can make a half a million
|
| I declare, I’m 'on give it all, to the hoodoo man
|
| I declare, if I can make a half a million
|
| I’m 'on give it all, to the hoodoo man
|
| Just after he promise me that he will
|
| Bring my lovin' Lorenzo, back home to me, again
|
| An I want her back ho-oh-ome, to me again |
