'Tain't Nobody's Bus'ness If I Do

There ain’t nothing I can do, or nothing I can say
That folks don’t criticize me
But I’m gonna do just as I want to anyway
And don’t care if they all despise me
If I should take a notion
To jump into the ocean
'Tain't nobody’s bus’ness if I do, do, do-la-do, do
If I let my best companion
Drive me right into the canyon
'Tain't nobody’s bus’ness if I do, if I do
If I dislike my lover
And leave him for another
Ain’t nobody’s bus’ness if I do, do, do-la-do, do
If I can strike on Sunday
Then cabaret on Monday
'Tain't nobody’s bus’ness if I do, if I do
If my friend ain’t got no money
And I say «Take all mine, honey»
'Tain't nobody’s bus’ness if I do, do, do, do
Swear I won’t call no copper
If I’m beat up by my papa
'Tain't nobody’s bus’ness if I do, do, do-la-do, do
I’d rather he would hit me
Then just right up and quit me
'Tain't nobody’s bus’ness if I do, if I do
If my daddy ain’t got no money
And I say, «Take all mine, honey»
'Tain't nobody’s bus’ness if I do, do, do-la-do, do
If I give him my last nickel
And it leaves me in a pickle
Ain’t nobody’s bus’ness if I do, if I do
