For [Eb] [Ebm] me to whoop [Ab] [B] it
[Eb]
[Db] Picture a little [Fm] love nest [F] down where the [Ab] roses [Eb]
swing
[Ab] [A] [G] Picture [E] that same [Ab] sweet love nest, [Db] ain't what [Abm] the years [Bb] can bring

[Gm] [Gb] [G]
[Fm] [Bb] [Db] He doesn't make [Fm] much money, [Eb] only [Ebm] five thousand [Cm] bucks
[Fm] [E] Some judge thinks he's [Fm] funny, [F] [Eb] that you pay [Gm] six to [Bb] her
[Ab] Now [Eb] he says, [C] Judge, suppose I [Gb] fail
[Eb] The judge says, Bud, right in the [Abm] jail
[Cm] You better keep [Eb] up
Yeah, I think it's cheaper
[Fm] To just [Eb] make a whoopin'
[Ebm]
