The Things I Want I Can't Get At Home - Louis Jordan, Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five

Baby, I’m gonna start the roam

'Cause the things I want, I can’t get at home

I’m gonna leave for fair

'Cause the things I like, ain’t in your frigid air

Mmm

I come home hungry

With just one wish

But it seems I can never

Get my favorite dish

So baby, baby, baby

I’m gonna hit the trail

Without the things I like

I’d rather be in jail

I’m gonna start the roam

'Cause the things I want

I can’t get at home

I’m gonna start the roam

'Cause the things I want

I can’t get at home

The things I want, I can’t get at home
