From YouTube: [4] FATTENIN' FROGS FOR SNAKES As recorded by Bumble Bee Slim, 1935 You get your breakfast in the morning, your dinner on time. I let you spend my dollar just like you spent my dime. CHORUS: Now I'm gettin' tired, baby, fattenin' frogs for snakes. All these many years, baby, I'm just now seein' my mistakes. When I first met you, mama, you didn't have no clothes. You was broke an' hongry, an' out of dough. Men didn't want you when you's down and out. I got you up on your feet; now they got you steppin' out. All these many years, baby, you've been bringin' me that jive, Goin' to the store at noon, comin' back at five. I work hard all the time, and bring you my pay. You get behind my back and give it all away.
