Brown Betty letra

[Men]
You sick?

[Harpo]
Nah, I ain't sick

Brown-legged woman put a spell on me

[Men]
Oh, Brown Betty

You forget about Sofia
She not comin' back

[Harpo]
She chopped me down like an old oak tree

[Men]
Don't matter if she's

[Harpo] (Men)
Big-legged (big-legged)
Brown-eyed (brown-eyed)
Big-eyed (big-eyed)
Brown-legged (brown-legged)

[Men]
Whatever she done, that girl sure was fine

[Squeak]
What y'all buildin' here?

[Harpo]
Jukejoint

[Squeak]
Y'all need a waitress?

[Harpo]
Sure do
Be done a week from today, you come back then

[Squeak]
Alright then, I will
Got my outfit already
You like yella'?

My name's Squeak!

[Harpo]
Gonna make you holler like a wildcat do

[Men]
Oh, Brown Betty

[Harpo]
When I throw my mojo down on you

[Men]
Don't matter if she's

[Harpo] (Men)
Big-legged (big-legged)
Brown-eyed (brown-eyed)
Big-eyed (big-eyed)
Brown-legged (brown-legged)

[Men]
Whatever she is, that girl sure is fine
Whatever she is, that girl sure is fine
Whoa!

[Squeak]
Who gonna sing at your jukejoint?

[Harpo]
Whoever want to, I guess

[Squeak]
I always wanted to sing

[Harpo]
What you sing about, girl?
Being skinny?

[Squeak]
Well, you get Shug Avery to come sing here
You make a lotta money
She comin' to town, y'know?

Everybody gettin' ready to lock up their mens
My momma say

[Harpo]
Uh-huh

[Squeak]
Is it true her daddy the preacher?
Only he don't speak to her anymore on account of her
Having all them babies and never marrying their daddy

Who their daddy? Y'know?

[Harpo]
He my daddy I think, only his daddy wouldn't let him marry her

[Squeak]
Then Shug Avery practically your momma!
She'll sing for you, Harpo
I know she will

You so pretty

[Harpo]
Men ain't pretty

[Squeak]
You is!

If you wanna eat the apple off of this here tree
(Yeah, Brown Betty)
Don't bring nothing but your sweet stuff home to me

[Men]
Don't matter if she's

[Harpo] (Men)
Big-legged (big-legged)
Brown-eyed (brown-eyed)
Big-eyed (big-eyed)
Brown-legged (brown-legged)

[Men]
Whatever she is, that girl sure is fine

[Harpo]
Whatever she is, that girl sure is fine
