Ain't Nobody's Business (If I Do) [Live at the Monterey Jazz Festival 1959] Songtext
von Jimmy Witherspoon

There ain′t nothin' I can do, or nothin′ I can say
That folks don't criticise me,
But I'm going to do just as I want to anyway,
And don′t care if you all despise me!

If I should take a notion
To jump into the ocean,
′T'aint nobody′s business if I do, do, do!

If I go to church on Sunday,
Then just shimmy down on Monday,
'T′aint nobody's business if I do, if I do!


If my friend ain′t got no money,
And I say, "Take all mine, honey",
'T'aint nobody′s business if I do, do, do do!

If I give him my lasy nickel,
And it leaves me in a pickle,
′T'aint nobody′s business if I do, if I do!

There, I'd rather my man was hittin′ me,
Than to jump right up and quittin' me,
′T'aint nobody's business if I do, do, do do!

I swear I won′t call no copper
If I′m beat up by my papa,
'T′aint nobody's business if I do, if I do!
