Satisfyin' Papa - Ethel Waters
Lucy Brown lived uptown
In a four-room flat
I mean she's a high brown queen
Don't ever wear no hat
Lovin' Dan is her man;
Boy he's up-to-date
But here is what she said to him
Last night when he came in late:
Satisfyin' Papa be yourself
Satisfyin' Papa no one else
Knows how to satisfy me; can't you see
Your way of lovin' suits me to a T;
Satisfyin' Papa you're so kind
Men like you are doggone hard to find
If you leave me I'll be blue;
Don't mistreat me if you do
Someday wait and see
You'll come beggin' me
To take your love off the shelf
Satisfyin' Papa be yourself
Last winter in the snow
Everybody in town know
Every day rain or shine
I sure did make time;
I give you every cent
To buy clothes and pay the rent
You always had your way;
Don't blame me when I say:
You know a good gal is hard to find
You know you think that love is blind
Someday wait and see
You'll come beggin' me
To take your love off the shelf
Satisfyin' Papa be yourself
