Taj Mahal - Nobody's Business But My Own Lyrics

Lyrics Nobody's Business But My Own - Taj Mahal



This next song is a funny little song
About snow in the desert
Champagne don't drive me crazy
Cocaine don't make me lazy
Ain't nobody's business but my own
Candy is dandy and liquor is quicker
You can drink all the liquor down in Costa Rica
Ain't nobody's business but my own
You can ride a great big pink Cadillac to church on Sunday
You can hang around the house with your old lady on Monday
Ain't nobody's business but your own
Man, I don't care what in the world that you do
As long as you do what you say you going to
Ain't nobody's business but your own
Now, I know some of you cuties
You real fine cuties, you go stepping downtown
Just to hang around
Standing on the corner
So the fellows will stare and say
"Oh, ain't she sweet?"
Champagne don't drive me crazy
Cocaine don't make me lazy
Ain't nobody's business but my own
Candy is dandy and liquor is quicker
You can drink all the liquor down in Costa Rica
Ain't nobody's business but my own
You can walk downtown in your birthday suit
I can see you coming out of the Bank Of America
With a whole lotta loot
Ain't nobody's business but your own
Now, you know that cocaine's for horses, now it ain't for men
The doctors said it'll kill me but they didn't say when
Ain't nobody's business but your own
Now, you know sometime I put on my straw hat
And my striped pants, my spats baby
You know and I go trucking downtown
Standing on the corner so the fellas can stare and say:
"Hey man, ain't you the brother in the '57 mercury
With the turnpike skirts and the chrome reverse wheels
The white wall tires and lights under the skirts
Was painted lime green with reversible license plates
With windows that you can see out, can't nobody see in
With four on the floor, 745 horsepower and a big stereo
Listening to Wolfman Jack say, "Ain't this X C I B, baby?""
Champagne don't drive me crazy
Cocaine don't make me lazy
Ain't nobody's business but my own
Candy is dandy and liquor is quicker
You can drink all the liquor down in Costa Rica
Ain't nobody's business but your own, but my own
Come on now, let's try it
Here we go, one, two, three
Now, champagne don't drive me crazy
Cocaine don't make me lazy
Ain't nobody's business but my own
Sing it out
Candy is dandy and liquor is quicker
You can drink all the liquor down at Costa Rica
Ain't nobody's business but my own
Once again
Champagne don't drive me crazy
Cocaine don't make me lazy
Ain't nobody's business but my own
Candy is dandy and liquor is quicker
You can drink all the liquor down in Costa Rica
Ain't nobody's business but my own
Thank you
