A trifling man came home one night And tiptoed to his door To his despair, his little wifie was there Waitin' to lay down the law Said she, "I'm through, I'm really sick of you Get out, stay out, and be on your way" Well he dropped down on his knees Cried "oh, please", But this is all she had to say: Get up, get up, off your knees papa You can't win me back that way Turn in, turn in all your keys papa You really goin' this time to stay I discovered that you're the worst man in this town Looks like you're fond of keepin' on going lower down Get up, get up, off your knees papa You can't win me back that way Get right up off your knees papa I'm tellin' you, you can't win me back that way Turn in all your keys papa 'Cause I put you out this time to stay You're so blamed crooked, here are blades Looks like it's a hard matter for you to keep your head up straight So get up off your knees papa You can't win me back that way Anyhow. Stand up when you're makin' your pleas No use you wearin' out your knees I heard someone say right next door Look mighty strange down there on all fours Stop it, down like that What in the devil anyhow can you be drivin' at? So get up and stay up off your knees papa You can't win me back that way Besides it looks suspicious And you can't win me back that way.
