I went out to get some groceries the other day |
|
From my neighborhood grocery store |
|
And before I could open my mouth, |
|
The grocery man said "No!", |
|
"You can't get that no more!", that's what he said |
|
"You can't get that no more." |
|
He said, "I sold all I had the other day. |
|
It ain't me, Mr. Jordan, it's the OPA. You just can't get it. |
|
You gotta do with what you got. Ain't gonna have no more for the |
|
duration. Gotaa be careful with your food, son. |
|
The hep cats used to stand on the corner in their zoot suits |
|
and them long chains hangin' down. All lookin' cute. But |
|
things is very different now, since Uncle Sam has got some Japs |
|
to shoot. Uh, uh, the can't do that no more, no sir. They can't |
|
do that no more. No more standin' on the corners day and night, cause |
|
Uncle Sam says that you got to work or you got to fight. So, they |
|
can't do that no more. No, you can't do that no more. |
|
You know the glamour gals has stopped glamorizin'. |
|
They workin' in defense plants, wearin' slacks. And some of the fine |
|
chicks is cuttin' out everyday. Joinin' the WAVs and the SPARs and the |
|
WAAFs. Now fellas, you can't get that no more. Uh, uh, I'm tellin' you |
|
fellas, you just can't get it. |
|
You can't jive these girls like you used to do |
|
Cause some of them is making more money than you |
|
I'm tellin' you boys, you just can't get that no more |
|
No, you can't get that no more |
|
You know the girls used to wake up every morning and say, " Lord, send |
|
me a handsome man. One that's physically fit." But Uncle Sam's got all |
|
of them now, and the gals has got to take just what they can get |
|
Uh, uh, girls, you can't get that no more |
|
Ain't no need to giggle, girls, you just can't get it no more, that's all |
|
Girls, you can't be particular |
|
You gotta take what's left |
|
Either them worn out 3A's or them beat up 4F's |
|
That's all. you just can't get it no more |
|
No, you can't get that no more. |
