Say I Do It

[Verse 1]
Mose and Pete lived on Greenwillow Street in northwest Baltimore
Pete 'run with Mose, 'cause he powdered his nose, and even wore ladies hose
Two could be seen running hand in hand, in all kinds of weather
'Til the neighbors, they began to signify, 'bout the birds that flock together

[Bridge]
Mose, he began to sigh, Pete yelled out his reply:

[Chorus]
'Say I do it, ain't nobody seen me
They sure got to prove it by me
Can't identify a man with a cover over his head
When a crab is cooked, he's bound to turn red
It's true I use a powder puff and has a shiny face
I wears a red necktie 'cause I think it suits my taste
I know my voice is tenor, I reduce myself with lace
And when you see me with the gang you'll find me singing bass
They say I do it, ain't nobody seed me
They sure got to prove it 'bout me!'

Listen!

[Verse 2]
Your husband is the doctor man that told Miss Liza Lee
They's got me a cottage out in the country by the sea
Turkey's 'bout to recommend my breakfast in my bed
Make sure that I will get it, he left a check instead
They say I done it, ain't nobody seed me
They sure got to prove it 'bout me

[Chorus]
'Say I do it, ain't nobody seed me
They sure got to prove it by me
Can't identify a man, cover on his head
Crab is cooked, he's bound to turn red
It's true I use a powder puff and has a shiny face
I wears a red necktie 'cause I think it suits my taste
They say I done it, ain't nobody seed me
They sure got to prove it 'bout me!'
