What makes a rooster crow every mornin' 'fore day?
What makes a rooster crow every mornin' 'fore day?
To let the pimps know that the workin' man is on his way!
We up before sunrise slavin' sixteen hours a day.
We up before sunrise slavin' sixteen hours a day.
We pay our house rent and grocery bill and the pimps get the rest of our pay.
Men, we've got to get together, something's got to be done.
We make the money, while the pimps really have the fun.
And while there's only house rent and grocery bill, no "mon", no fun.
Men, can't you see, you can't keep a whole woman by yourself.
Men, can't you see, you can't keep a whole woman by yourself.
If your best friend can't get your woman, he'll frame her for somebody else.
Something about some women, that I never could understand.
Something about some women, that I never will understand.
They not satisfied with a good husband, they want some other woman's man.
