Take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me

An ev'rybody takes a whiff on me

An-a-ho-oh, baby take a whiff on me

When I'm married

Gonna call me a lie

Gotta a whiff for my baby

That she can't get higher

And-a ho-oh, baby take a whiff on me

When I'm married

Gonna buy me a rope

And buy a whiff for my baby

Just because I love her

It's so-oh, baby take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me

An e'rybody takes a whiff on me

An-a ho-oh, baby take a whiff on me

I got a berry that's sweeter than juice

Take this brown-skin woman

For my partic-alicar use

I said now, oh-ho, baby take a whiff on me

<'spittin' my juice'>

Chew my tobacca, spittin' my juice

But I love my baby

Just a-can't even let ya loose

I said now, ho-oh, baby take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me

And e'rybody takes a whiff on me

It's-a-ho-ho, baby take a whiff on me

(guitar)

unk<'machine goin too long'>

unk<'to bum a nickel'>

Walked up Ellum

And I comed down Main

Couldn't bum a nickel

Just to buy cocaine

An-a-ho-oh, baby take a whiff on me

Take somethin'

Gonna make your mind ting-a-ling

Two bars a-coke, can't find my nickels

An-a ho-oh, baby take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me

And ev'rybody takes a whiff on me

And-a-ho-oh, baby take a whiff on me

You'll take Sally

And I'll take Sue

It's a mighty little difference

And they be swingin' soon

She said, 'Now ho-ller, baby take a whiff on me'

You'll take Sally

And I'd take Jane

They both good lookin'

But they ain't just the same

An-a-ho-oh, baby take a whiff on me

Whiff-a-ree, an-a whiff-a-rye

Gotta keep on whiffin' until I die

An-a-ho-oh, baby take a whiff on me

(Take a whiff on me)

Cocaine for horses, not for men

Doctor said it kill ya

But he don't says when

An-a ho-oh, baby take a whiff on me

<'squealin'>

You gotta pick the poke

Two bach'lor men

Oh, how I'm glad

Yo old' lady squealin'

An-a-ho-oh, baby take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me

And ev'rybody take a whiff on me

And now, ho-ho, baby take a whiff on me.

unk: 'I said, been squealin' all over this town

Let's clown 'round here.
