I met a girl in a caboret
Pretty poppa, are you going my way
I meant to know what it's all about
You know, she took me home just to kick me out
Broke my nose and she split my chin
Don't let me catch you 'round here again
Whippin' through the kitchen and out through the door
You know she beat me with a chair until my head got sore
CHORUS: But that'll never happen no more
No, that'll never happen no more. 

Verbal scatting thru a verse. 

I went to a party the other night
Got into drinkin', I was feeling all right
Lit up a reefer and I soaked up some gin
I was sittin' there waiting for the the fun to begin.
Little gal stepped up to me
Said 'Come on, daddy, let's make whoopee
Well I woke up in an empty bed
You know my pockets were empty and there's an ache in my head. 

CHORUS: 

instrumental break 

Lived in Chicago in the winter and fall
Caused me to wear my overalls
Well I got sick and it was my fault
I was drinking tequila and leaving the salt
Met a gal in a big mink coat
Fancy car and a 40-foot boat
She pulled a gun and she took my dough
You know I didn't holler and I didn't get sore 

CHORUS: 

######################################################
Met the gal at the caberet
Pretty papa I'm a-goin' your way
Man knew what it was all about
That is why he went and threw me out
Broke my nose, split my chin
'Don't let me catch you in my castle (?) again'
Beat me from the kitchen back to the door
He beat me with a chair till my head got sore
But that'll never happen no more
That'll never happen no more 

Went to Chicago winter and fall
Got to make your date in your overalls
Got broke, wasn't my fault
I had to eat my pork chop without any salt
Met a girl, pigmeat spur (?)
Big fat ? followed her
Took a (my) gun, took my dough
I didn't even holler and I wouldn't get sore But that'll ... 

Play it boy (instrumental) 

That'll never happen to me no more (2)

I met a girl at the caberet
Said, "Pretty papa, I'm goin' your way."
Her man know what it all about,
Waiting home just to throw me out. 

Broke my nose, an' split my chin.
"Don't let me catch you here again."
He whipped from the kitchen, back to the door,
He beat me with the chair until my head got sore. 

That'll never happen no more.
That'll never happen no more. 

Was in Chicago, winter and fall,
Woman got me to wear my overalls.
Got broke, wasn't my fault,
Used to eatin' pork chops, been eatin' salt.


I met a woman with a (big mean) smile.
Big fat mouth, neat parlored hair.
She pulled a gun and took my dollar,
Didn't even holler and I didn't get sore. 

That'll never happen no more.
That'll never happen no more. 

That'll never happen no more.
That'll never happen to me no more.
