Doin' What I Please (10-06-32) - Don Redman

I’m staying single

Conscience at ease

I’m free to mingle

I do what I please!

When I’m out late nights

No one has my keys

Yeah, I keep my dates nights

Doin' what I please

You know, I don’t have no starved waters, (?)

Because they keep you on the shelf

And I ain’t takin' orders

So I just go along enjoyin' myself

Should I go sailing

'Cross the seven seas?

No one can stop me

Doin' what I please!

You know I have romances

Just like a dog has fleas

And I take in all the dances

That’s because I do what I please

I blow in at these parties

Just like a reckless breeze;

I outsmart all these other smarties

Because I do just what I please

You know, where there’s no action

You’ll find that there’s blues about

And I get my satisfaction

Only when I’m steppin' out

And whenever I get tipsy

Out at one of these jamborees

No one can stop me

'Cause I do what I please!
