Lyrics Maybe Not At All - Ethel Waters
Jim
Johnson
took
me
home
last
night,
′Twas
the
first
time
that
we'd
met,
He
claimed
to
be
a
small-town
sheik,
And
all
his
jive
he
bet,
He
rest
his
hat
and
coat
and
said,
"Here
I′ll
stay."
But
his
feathers
fell
when
he
heard
me
say:
Not
on
the
first
night,
baby!
Ain't
knowed
you
long
enough!
Don't
you
think
you′re
kind
of
hasty
To
pull
that
kind
of
stuff!
Don′t
slam
my
front
door,
please,
when
you
go
out,
Just
because
there
was
nothin'
doin′
what
you
was
thinkin'
about,
Not
on
the
first
night,
baby!
Or
maybe
not
at
all!
Maybe
not
at
all!
[Spoken:]
Now,
if
Miss
Clara
Smith
would
sing
the
same
song:
Not
on
the
first
night,
baby!
Sweet
Mama
Clara
ain′t
knowed
you
long
enough!
Why,
don't
you
think
you′re
kind
of
hasty,
Just
to
pull
that
kind
of
stuff!
Run
round
the
block,
hot
papa,
and
get
yourself
some
air,
This
ain't
no
seaport,
daddy,
don't
you
try
to
anchor
in
here!
Because
not
on
the
first
night,
baby!
Or
maybe
not
at
all!
I
say,
maybe
not
at
all!
[Spoken:]
I′m
gettin′
ready
for
the
Empress,
Miss
Bessie
Smith,
lord!
Not
on
the
first
night,
babe!
Ain't
knowed
you
long
enough!
Don′t
you
think
you
kind
of
hasty
To
pull
that
kind
of
stuff!
Be
yourself,
kind
mister,
that's
no
way
to
act,
Let
my
doorknob
hit
you
in
the
middle
of
your
back!
Not
on
the
first
night,
baby!
Or
maybe
not
at
all!
I
said,
maybe
not
at
all!
