i still suits me - bing crosby lyrics
joe! dere you go again! look at dem peas all over de floor!
river done it
de river done it?
ol’ river can do mos’ anything, queenie
look out dere what it’s doin’ now, won’t be letting us
give no show tonight
show? dat don’t worry me none. dere’s
somethin’ else on dis ol’ boat worries me mo’
miss nola?
dat’s what
she be all right
dat’s what you say ’bout ev’rythin’. you don’t get excited
why? ’cause you don’t do nuthin’. you don’ cook like me
you don’ act like the show folk. you don’ work on the tow
boat. what do you do?
well, i jes’ sh-lled dem peas
you ain’t pickin’ dem up
no, but i could’ve ef you didn’t do it
i could do a lot of things ef it was necessary
den why don’cha?
it ain’t necessary
(he starts to sing, extemporaneously rhyming, stating his
mood of the moment. he sings as queenie goes about her work)
keep on a-naggin’
‘n bullyraggin’
‘n criticizin’
‘n call me pizen
ah ain’t apologizin’, no siree!
no matter what you say
ah still suits me
de rag you’re chewin’
mus’ be a ruin
keep right on knockin’
keep right on mockin’
mah rockin’ chair ain’t rockin’
no sirree!
no matter what you say
ah still suits me
(coming over to him, belligerently)
does you ever wash the dishes?
does you do the things i wishes?
does you do dem?
no, you don’t!
will you do dem?
no, you won’t!
when dere’s any workin’ to it
i’m de one dat’s gotta do it!
when it’s rainin’ who’s the feller
uses up the whole umbreller?
selfish as a man can be!
(looking up blandly)
no matter what you say
ah still suits me
you don’ make money!
ah know dat, honey!
i never see none!
ain’t gonna be none
but dat don’ worry me none
no siree!
shif’less! lifeless! no good!
no matter what you say
ah still suits me
i may be no good
no good fo’ yo’ good
i may be lifeless
but wid one wife less
mah life would be mo’ strifeless
yes siree!
no matter what you say
ah still suits me
does you ever wash de dishes?
does you do de things ah wishes?
does you do dem?
no you don’t!
will you do dem?
no, you won’t!
always imitatin’ me
an’ always aggravation’ me!
den in spite of ev’rything
‘spite of all de grief you bring
‘xpectin’ me to love you true!
no matter what you say
ah thinks you do
(he reaches out and pulls her to him affectionately
she roars with glee)
