Subject: Lyr Add: YOU PUT THAT THING ON ME
YOU PUT THAT THING ON ME
As recorded by Spark Plug Smith, 1933.

VERSE: Liza Jim(?) Green from New Orleans,
The sweetest girl I've ever seen,
Her ways and her actions just like a Kewpie doll.
Was but one man in town could make Liza fall.
I stopped around, all sharp and keen.
Who fell for me was Liza Jim(?) Green.
I kissed her sweet lips and made her feel gay.
You ought to heard Liza when she yelled out and say:

CHORUS 1: Papa, you done put that thing on me.
I guess you satisfied.
It took a lot o' loving an' ? (?)
To make a wise woman like me decide.
You ain't fat; baby, you ain't lean,
But you the best I ever seen.

Baby, you done put that thing on me.
I guess you satisfied.

CHORUS 2: Papa, you done put that thing on me.
I guess you satisfied.
It took a lot o' loving an' ? (?)
To make a wise woman like me decide.
You start shifting; your shifter's near.
You climb her hills without shifting one gear.

I said: papa, you done put that thing on me.
I guess you satisfied.

CHORUS 3: I said: papa, you done put that thing on me.
I guess you satisfied.
It took a lot o' loving an' ? (?)
To make a woman like me decide.
My name is Liza but they call me Sister Yearn(?).
I told Deacon Jones it wasn't a durn thing doin'.

I said: papa, you done put that thing on me.
I guess you satisfied.

CHORUS 4: I said: papa, you done put that thing on me.
I guess you satisfied.
It took a lot o' loving an' ? (?)
To make a wise woman like me decide.
Close up your windows; shut up your doors.
My daddy throws a mean yo-yo.

I said: papa, you done put that thing on me.
I guess you satisfied.

CHORUS 5: I say: baby, you done put that thing on me.
I guess you satisfied.
It took a lot o' loving an' ? (?)
To make a wise woman like me decide.
What did the elephant say when he swallowed the cat?
I've got a stomach full o' kittens and it's tight like that.

Papa, you done put that thing on me.
I guess you satisfied, I mean,
I guess you satisfied.
