Lyrics: Don’t Start Me Talkin’

Goin’ down to Rosie’s, stop at Fanny May's,
Gonna tell Fanny what I heard her boyfriend say.

Now don’t you start me talkin’,
I’ll tell everything I know.
I'm gonna break up this signifyin',
'cause somebody gotta go.

Jack gave his wife two dollar, go down to the market.
Get out on the street, 'ol George stopped her,
he knocked her down, and blackened her eye,
she get back home and tell her husband a lie.

Now don’t you start me talkin’,
I’ll tell her everything I know.
I'm gonna break up this signifyin',
'cause we gotta go.

She borrowed some money to go to the beauty shop,
I’m goin’ to a place where I can get my hair sot.

Now don’t you start me talkin’,
I’ll tell her everything I know.
I'm gonna break up this signifyin',
'cause we gotta go.
