Now you left last night at half past eight SUSIE: Yes, and I come home this mornin' at four BUTTER: And you had the nerve to bring another man Right smack up to my door SUSIE: Well, don't let that worry you, old dear And, buddy, I'm through with you BUTTER: Through with me? SUSIE: Yessir! BUTTER: Before you go, here's what I am going to do SUSIE: What you goin' do, boy? BUTTER: I'm gonna cut your nappy head four diff'rent ways Long, short, deep and wide When I get through usin' my black-handled razor You know you're gonna take a ride SUSIE: If you can catch me! BUTTER: I'm gonna cut A B C D in the top of your head That's gonna be treatin' you nice and you ain't gonna be dead I'm gonna cut E F G right across your face H I J K, that's where runnin' takes place I'm gonna cut L M N 'cross both of your arms You gonna sell shoestrings and pencils your whole life long I'm gonna cut O P Q, that means trouble too I'm gonna grab you too and turn you ev'ry way but loose I'm gonna cut R S T just to hear you cry That's the last time tears gonna run from both your eyes I'm gonna cut U V W on the bottom of your feet That's the last time you're gonna walk down Thirty-Fifth Street I'm gonna mark you 'cross your bosom with X Y Z When I get through the alphabet you'll quit messin' with me (Transcribed by Mel Priddle - May 2013)
