Say man, don't
walk ahead of that woman like she don't belong to you!
Just cause hers got them little skinny
legs.
You know,that ain't no way to do.
You didn't act like that when you had it home
behind closed doors!
Alright...
Now you act like you're 'shamed or somethin,
or you
don't want nobody to know she's your's.
That's alright,you just walk on baby...
(sings)
And don't you worry about a doggone thing a'tall, because there's
some
man,somewhere,who'll take you baby, skinny legs and all
Now, Who'll take the woman with
the skinny legs?
C'mon somebody please take the lady with the skinny legs.
Now, you all
know the lady with the skinny legs got to have somebody too, now.
Will somebody please take the
lady with the skinny legs, please?
(asking)
"Hey,Joe".. (Joe answers)
"Yeah
Bobby? Why don't you take her?
(response)
You-a-fool?
I don't want no woman with no
skinny legs.
Look here,I thought I might give this woman to Clyde.
But, no, I know the
kinda woman Clyde likes!
So Leroy'll take her. Say Leroy?
You got her!!
Say,

Now why you wanna act like that man ain't yours?
Just cause he's walkin
with you, with them raggedy clothes.
Man just forgot to get his suit out a the cleaners, that's

Alright...alright... Act like that man don't belong to ya!
Go on over there and kiss
him and hold his hand.
