If You Don't Give Me What I Want

by Edna Hicks

on Edna Hicks - Hazel Meyers - Laura Smith Vol. 2 (1923-1927) (2005), Bleeding Hearted Blues (2021)

Everyday this week you ask me what I need
You promise and you promise but you don't show anything
Now listen once for all
For this is my last call

If you don't give me what I want
I'm gonna get it somewhere else
Pickles to pickles and dills to dills
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!

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 what's full of youth
That's why I'm going to tell the truth
Cause, if you don't give me what I want
I'm gonna get it somewhere else!

You're worse than that, old, loose and green
You have no banana all this week
So, if you don't give me what I want
I'm gonna get it somewhere else!
