There ain’t nothin’ I can do nor nothin’ I can say That folks don’t cri-ti-cize me. But I’m gonna do just as I want to anyway I don’t care if they all despise me. If I should take a notion To jump into the ocean It ain’t nobody’s business if I do.        Rather than persecute me I choose that you would shoot me It ain’t nobody’s business if I do.        If I should get the feelin’ To dance upon the ceiling’ It ain’t nobody’s business if I do.        If I let my best companion Drive me right into the canyon It ain’t nobody’s business if I do.        After all the way to do is do just as you please Regardless of  their talkin’ Often times the ones that talk will get down on their knees And beg your pardon for their squalkin’. If I dislike my lover And leave (him/her) for another It ain’t nobody’s business if I do.        If I go to church on Sunday Then cabaret on Monday It ain’t nobody’s business if I do.        If my friend ain’t got no money And I say "Take all mine honey" It ain’t nobody’s business if I do.        If I lend (him/her) my last nickel And it leaves me in a pickle It ain’t nobody’s business if I do.
