From the recording Plenty
Lyrics
Hey old lady why you treat me so mean?
The meanest old lady that I've ever seen
You know if meanness was royal
Baby, you'd be the Queen
And I could be you jester
Hey old lady why you treat me so bad?
Meanest old lady I've ever had
I try to make you laugh it's only making you mad
Your sign must be Do Not Enter
Oh my Queen
Won't you, please, won't you, please
Won't you, please, Love me
You sell a kiss for a nickel
Two for a dime
Four for a quarter
If you’re a friend of mine
You know I want your love I got to get in line
Stand and place my order
Low cut dress and those high heel shoes
You paint your face and you give me the blues
I had to rob a bank just to pay your dues
Please let me cross your border
Hey old lady why you treat me so mean?
Meanest old lady that I've ever seen
You know if meanness was royal
Baby you'd be the Queen
And I could be your jester.
