[Verse]
Every day this week you asked me what I need
You promised and you promised but you don't show any speed
Now listen once for all
For this is my last call

[Chorus 1]
If you don't give me what I want
I'm gonna get it somewhere else
Pickles to pickles and dill to dill
If you don't give me, someone will
You may refuse to give me chops
But I know other butcher shops, so
If you don't give me what I want
I'm gonna get it somewhere else

[Chorus 2]
If you don't give me what I want
I'm gonna get it somewhere else
It's ashes to ashes and dust to dust
If you don't give me, someone must
I'm just a gal, [?]
That's why I'm going to tell the truth, so
If you don't give me what I want
I'm gonna get it somewhere else

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 3]
[?]
You've had no bananas all this week, so
If you don't give me what I want
I'm gonna get it somewhere else
