One More Time

Papa tangles with his wige

At the threat of his life

He can't get a little independence

Say your sister's got a babe

Her man has gone away

She cries like the Dickens

Night 'till morn'

Got no bread to pay the landlord

Got a song that I can sing

To clear my head

One more time for your trouble

And you say the hell with it

And keep repeating

One more time for his wife

One more time for his life

One more time for

All his independence

One more time for the rent

One more time for the man

One more time for sister and her baby

One more time is all you have to say

To get you right oh

One more time just a little bit

One more time just a little bit

One more time just a little bit

One more time just a little bit

One more time just a little bit

One more time just a little bit

One more time just a little bit

One more time just a little bit

Say your brother's got a Jones

And he looks like skin and bones

He says he can kick it

When he wants to

Or your mama's on her feet

She's eatin' at the street

All your friends get the giggles

When she pass

Got no pride to face the world with

'Cause my head is on my chest

I'm looking downward

One more time and then the problem

Got to straighten out my brain

From going crazy

One more time for the Jones

One more time for the bones

One more time for kicking

When he wants to

One more time for the feet

One more time for the street

One more time for

All the laughing faces

One more time for his wife

One more time for his life

One more time for

All his independence

One more time for the rent

One more time for the man

One more time for sister

And her baby

One more time for the Jones

One more time for the bones

One more time for kicking

When he wants to
