NO HELP WANTED, a.k.a. YOU'LL NEED MY HELP
Words by Betty Jo Catlett & Noel Ball, music by Bill Carlisle.
As recorded by The Carlisles, 1952.

1. Now I've got a gal from New Orleans,
Cutest little thing that you ever have seen.
She got a cute little walk with a hippity-hop,
Big at the little and bottom at the top. [sic]

CHORUS: "Do you need any help?" "Huh-uh, no help wanted."
"You could use a little help." "No, no, no help wanted."
"Just call on me if you need any help.
Do you need any help? Do you need any help?"
"No, I can handle this job all by myself."

2. Now she calls me her little piggly-wiggly.
I call her my little thingamajiggy.
When I ask her for a kiss,
…voice sounds something like this: CHORUS

3. Now I love my baby; she's a little bitty booger,
Cute as a button and sweet as sugar.
I'm a-gonna buy her a diamond ring.
We'll get married in the spring. CHORUS

4. Now I'm a-gonna take her honky-tonkin' tonight.
We're gonna do ever'thing up right.
When the music starts to swing and sway,
We'll dance till the break of day. CHORUS
