The original goes back a bit further than Mainer & Morris. They learned it from a 1929 recording by David Fletcher and Gwen Foster, who recorded as the Carolina Twins. It's been a favorite of mine since I first heard it back in the 60s.

I think it may have been written by David Fletcher, since he was first to record it under his own name, but the recording was unissued. Here are the Carolina Twins' lyrics:

A CHANGE IN BUSINESS ALL AROUND

Carolina Twins, Victor 40243, Atlanta, November 28, 1929

Folks, I think it's nothin' but right for me to mention here tonight
The things that's a-goin' on in your town,
If the married men'd stay at home, and leave the single girls alone,
That'd make a change in business all around.

CHO
All around, all around,
Up in the air and on the ground,
If the married men'd stay at home, and leave the single girls alone,
That'd make a change in business all around.

Now, women, take my advice, I know your short-tailed skirts looks nice,
But it's runnin' yo' men wilder every day,
They'll stay out late at night, then come in and raise a fight,
That makes a change in business all around.

CHO2
All around ...
Stop wearin' your short tail skirts, and don't be such durn big flirts, That'll ...

If the men could have their way, they'd keep their wives from goin' astray,
'Cause the women are gettin' wilder every day,
Keep your wives out of automobiles, make 'em stay home and serve you meals,
That'd make a change in business all around.

CHO3
... Keep your wives etc.

Just give the women a chance, I be durned if they don't wear yo' pants,
They'll run everything right in the ground,
If every man's mother-in-law had a padlock on her jaw,
That'd make a change in business all around.

CHO4
... If every man's etc.
