DON'T FORCE IT IF IT DON'T FIT
(Tune – Traditional)

Don't force it if it don't fit
Got yourself a brand new size
Don't force it if it don't fit
You'll never have to 'pologise.
Now the rooster, when he saw the egg was red –
Went across the street and knocked the peacock dead.
Don't force it if it don't fit
Get yourself a brand new size.

Don't force it if it don't fit
Get yourself a brand new size
Don't force it if it don't fit
You'll never have to 'pologise
Now the monkey, when he saw how the kid was slung
Went and knocked hell out of the Orangatung.
Don't force it if it don't fit
Get yourself a brand new size!

The Barrelhouse Anne recording above was done in Chicago in 3rd March 1937 ( Wabash Music C-1837-ARC Test ).
It was an unissued test recording. There is a report of it on a Hollywood Hot Shot party record
which I have been unable to verify.
