I [Db] really thought that [Ab] I was wise, till a woman make me [Eb] realize, that of the [Db] proper knowledge I [Ab] was nude.
For I [Eb] did not know what them call [Ab] night fool, rain [Db] begin to fall, the night [Ab] was dark.
On a ladies veranda I [Eb] had to pass, she [Db] come and say why you stay [Ab] outside, when there is warmth and food inside.
[Db] I wonder what them call [Ab] this night food, [Eb] I wonder if [Ab] it taste so good, yes [Db] I want a lady now to tell [Ab] me why, this [Eb] night food is so [Ab] very high.

[Ab] I was [Db] so hungry and very [Ab] cold, that once in my life I acted [Eb] bold, I went [Db] right into the [Ab] ladies room, but sorry it nearly caused me doom.
She said [Db] inside I have some night [Ab] night food, I hope you are in the [Eb] eating mood.
This sounded [Db] to me now [Ab] very strange, as she did not [Eb] visit the [Ab] kitchen range.
I [Db] wonder what them [Ab] call this night food, I [Eb] wonder if it [Ab] taste so good, yes I want [Db] a lady now to [Ab] tell me why, this night [Eb] food is so [Ab] very high.

I [F] said [Db] ladies there is no [Ab] life and talk, and how [Eb] can I eat food [Ab] in the dark.
She said [Db] this food need no [Ab] life and talk, how can any human be [Eb] so dark, [Db] the food is right here in [Ab] the bed.
Come [Eb] here man make me scratch [Ab] your head.
[Db] I wonder what them [Ab] call this night food, I wonder if it taste so good, yes I want [Db] a lady now to [Ab] tell me why, this [Eb] night food is so [Ab] very high.

I said [Db] ladies please have me [Ab] excuse, this night food to me is [Eb] really news, and I will [Db] not make you touch [Ab] me head.
[Eb] Something did that once now in [Ab] his bed, she [Db] jump up and then turn on [Ab] the light, and say half a [Eb] man get out me sight.
I [Db] can't stand a man who is [Ab] so crude, that him [Eb] don't know what them [Ab] call night food.
