Knock Me A Kiss - Original Mono - Louis Jordan

A woman is the sweetest thing

On that we all agree

But when she gets the wedding band

A mans no longer free

That’s why I’m safe, sane and single

I’m on my merry way

Yes I’m safe, sane and single

That’s how I’m gonna stay

A wife and husband came upon

The parting of their ways

The judge gave her the bank account

And gave him 90 days

That’s why I’m safe, sane and single

I’m on my merry way

Yes I’m safe, sane and single

That’s how I’m gonna stay

A friend of mine got married

To a gal named Nellie Gray

She pawned his watch then sold his car

And gave his clothes away

That’s why I’m safe, sane and single

I’m on my merry way

Yes I’m safe, sane and single

That’s how I’m gonna stay

I met a gal in Birmingham

And thereby hangs a tale

She had a husband doing time

Another out on bail

That’s why I’m safe, sane and single

I’m on my merry way

Yes I’m safe, sane and single

That’s how I’m gonna stay

Ha, ha, ha, I got one

I courted a gal for 15 years

Her Pa said we should wed

If my horse could only cook

I’d marry him instead

That’s why I’m safe, sane and single

I’m on my merry way

Yes I’m safe, sane and single

That’s how I’m gonna stay

Thank God I’m safe, Thank God I’m safe,

Yes I’m safe, sane and single

That how I’m gonna stay

Thank God I’m safe, Thank God I’m safe,

Yes I’m safe, sane and single

That how I’m gonna stay!

Thank God I’m safe, Thank God I’m safe,

Yes I’m safe, sane and single

That how I’m gonna stay!

Now you got that?
