Go back where you stayed last night,
Get away from my door!
Kid Ory's my regular now,
And I don't want you no more!

In another candy shop
Go and get your lollipop!
Be on a high, papa,
'Cause I'm sure through with you!

I've been a big chump long enough,
>From now on I'm gonna be mean!
So find another station
To get your supply of gasolene!

And when the back of your collar is showin',
Then I'll know goddarn well you're goin'
Right back where you stayed last night,
I don't want you no more!

Go back where you stayed last night, (that was my cousin Helen, honey!)
Get away from my door!
Kid Ory's my regular now, (you mean that no-good trumpet player?)
And I don't want you no more!

In another candy shop (I don't like candy, baby!)
Go and get your lollipop! (pork chops is what I like!)
Be on a high, papa,
'Cause I'm sure through with you! (you sure a hard-hearted woman!)

I've been a big chump long enough,
>From now on I'm gonna be mean! (give me another chance baby!)
So find another station
To get your supply of gasolene! (I ain't got no automobile, honey!)

And when the back of your collar is showin', (what'll I do baby?)
Then I'll know goddarn well you're goin' (goin'where?)
Right back where you stayed last night,
I don't want you no more!
