INTRO SOLO

Got something to tell you, babe, I know you can’t do, you can’t love me and love my buddies, too
When you love ’em, baby, you got to love ’em right, love ’em ever day, babe, and love ’em every night
REFRAIN: But she’s a sweet little woman, don’t you know, sweet little woman, don’t you know
Sweet little woman, I ain’t gon’ tell you no lie

When a man get hairy, you know he needs a shave, when a woman get musty, you know she needs a bathe
REFRAIN: But she’s a sweet little woman, don’t you know, sweet little woman, don’t you know
She’s a sweet little woman, I ain’t gon’ tell you no lie

Squeeze me, squeeze me, babe, and don’t let me fall, put my mule, a-kicking in your stall
REFRAIN: But she’s a sweet little woman, don’t you know, sweet little woman, don’t you know
Sweet little woman, I ain’t gon’ tell you no lie (Spoken: Play your brains out! All, all right!)

SAXOPHONE SOLO

I like your mama, but she won’t do this, I hit her ‘cross the head, with my great big fist
Clock on the shelf, singing tick-tick-tick, your mama in the corner, doin’ I don’t know which
Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, I like your mama, she got too many mens
Ashes to ashes, you know, and sand to sand, every time I see her, she got a brand new man
REFRAIN: But she’s a sweet little woman, don’t you know, sweet little woman, don’t you know
Sweet little woman, I ain’t gon’ tell you no lie
