The Cats Got The Measles Lyrics

Papa Charlie Jackson The Cats Got The Measles

Now the cat's got the measles : dog's got the whooping
cough
Doggone a man : let a woman be his boss

Now I ain't no devil : crawl in a lion's den
But my chief occupation : taking women from their
monkey‑men

Says I ain't good‑looking : my teeth don't shine like
pearls
But I've got something babe : to carry me through this
big darn world

Now I think I heard a rumbling : deep down in the ground
Well it must have been the devil : chaining my good gal
down

Now the men don't like me : just because I speak my mind
But the women cry papa : just because I take my time
