Papa Charlie Jackson Skoodle Um Skoo
Now I got a lady : by the name of Sue
She'd like to know : just what to do
Now when you what it : I agree
Don't forget : to ask for me
Now she's a woman : hard to beat
All you got to do is dance : and stay on your feet
Now you ain't good‑looking : you don't dress cute
You got to keep a papa : for your personal use
Now January February : and March too
The women come along : and showed her just what to do
Now a woman needn't think : she got a man by herself
A man needn't think : he got a woman by himself
Now tain't but one thing : that grieve my mind
All these brownskins : none of them mine
