The Cat's got the Measles

That's what I got from Pappa Charlie Jackson!
The cat's got the measles and the dog's got the whoopin' coughs
Doggone a man let a woman be his boss

I ain't no gambler, ain't born in the lion's den But my mean occupation's takin' women from their monkey man

I thought I heard a rumblin' , way down in the ground It must have been the devil, chaining my good gal down

I ain't good looking, my teeth don't shine like pearls But I got something, carry me through this world
