Skinny Legs and All - Joe Tex

Unks:

'Moving out to you, now'

'Ah, I don’t hear it'

'Hold it right there'

'I'm holding'

Spoken:

Say, man!

Don’t walk ahead of that woman

Like she don’t belong to you

Just 'cause her got them little skinny legs

You know that ain’t no way to do

You didn’t act like that when ya had it home

Behind closed do’s!

Alright

Now, you act like you ashamed of the woman

Don’t even want nobody to know she’s yo’s

But that’s, alright

You just walk on, baby!

(hup, hup)

And don’t you worry about a doggone thing, a’tol

(hup, hup)

Because there’s some man, somewhere

Who’ll take you

Baby, skinny legs and all

'I swear!'

Keep on walkin', baby

(Hup, hup)

Show ya what I’m talkin' about

Listen to this:

Now, who’ll take the woman with the skinny legs?

(Try, Leroy)

Stand right there baby, I’m 'on give you away

In a minute

Come on, somebody please take the lady with

The skinny legs?

(I don’t 'wan 'em!)

Now, ya’all know the lady with skinny legs

Got to have somebody too, now

(No, I don’t wanna help that person!)

Will somebody, please take the lady with

The skinny legs, please?

(Ay, Joe!)

Yeah, Bobby

(Why don’t you take her?)

She ain’t no fool!

I don’t want no woman with no skinny legs

Look here!

I thought about givin' this woman to Clyde

But, no

Say, I know the kind-a women Clyde like

Ol' Leroy’ll take her

Say, LEROY!

You got her!

Say, Miss Sweetie

Now, why you wan' act like that man

Ain’t yo’s?

Just 'cause he’s walkin' with you

With them raggedy clothes?

Man just forgot to get his suit outta the cleaners

That’s all

Alright!

Alright!

Ya act like that man don’t belong to ya

Go on over there and kiss 'em and

Hold his hand

Unk: 'Go over there and squeeze your man'

Unk man: 'I'd like to have her squeeze my hand'

Uh!

Say you ain’t gon' do what?

Unk: 'I likes it'

(Unk man w/woman-like voice) 'I say later, ho'

'That's alright

You just walk on, mister!

(Thank you, you’re welcome!)

And don’t you worry about a doggone thing a’tol

(Hup, Hup)

Because there’s some woman

Somewhere, who’ll take you

Mr. Raggedy Clothes and all

Yes they will

Just keep on walkin'

(Hup, Hup)

(Hup, Hup)

(Hup, Hup)

Don’t be ashamed a-what you got

(Hup, Hup)

(Hup, Hup)

Just sayin', what girl’s that you dropped wouldn’t tell you
