I'm Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town Songtext
von The Count Basie Orchestra

I′m gonna move way out on the outskirts of town
I'm gonna move way out on the outskirts of town
I don′t want nobody, ooh-ooh, always hangin' 'round

I′m gon′ tell you, baby, we gon' move away from here
I don′t want no iceman, I'm gonna find me a Frigidaire
When we move, way out on the outskirts of town
I don′t want nobody, ooh-ooh, always hangin' ′round


I'm gonna buy my own groceries, bring 'em every day
That′ll stop the grocery boy, and keep him away
When we move way out on the outskirts of town
I don′t want nobody, ooh-ooh, always hangin' ′round

It may seem funny, honey, funny as can be
Now we've got eight children and none of ′em look like me
That's why I′m gon' move way out on the outskirts of town
I don't want nobody, ooh-ooh, always hangin′ ′round
