Friendship - Louis Jordan

Ain't that Zeke sittin' over there

(Yeah that's him)

Zeke you dirty so and so

I wanna talk to you Zeke

You ain't no good and I ain't no refrigerator

I can't keep nothin' Pay attention to me

Now listen old man you and me

Been friends for a long time

And up 'til now we've been gettin'

Along just fine But there's a few

Little things I gotta pull your coat about

You pay attention to me

And we ain't gonna fall out

I work nights and I think

You've been very kind comin' over and

Stayin' with my wife all the time

But must you use my razor blades

Buy some they're only a dime

You call that friendship

And stop doin' them little dirty

Tricks like jammin' the chair up

Against the door You kept me

Out last night until half past four

I know you didn't mean any harm

But that's enough to make anybody sore

You call that friendship

What about that night you came

And took my wife to the show I asked her

What movie she saw and she said

She didn't know

I told her she couldn't see so good

So don't sit back that far no more

(You ain't no good) That's right Zeke

You ain't no good

Now I don't get mad like the average

Cat would do when she buys me a shirt

And she buys you two But when

She feeds you chicken and steak

And give me Irish stew

You're a lizard in the bushes

That's what you are that's what you are

And you stop feedin' her that

Candy and sweet stuff to eat

That jive is makin'

Her talk in her sleep She kept me

Awake all last night mumblin' your name

And sayin' "sure is sweet"

You ain't no friend of mine Zeke

No friend of mine

But I will tell you Zeke

I'm real happy I'm happy as can be

About that big insurance policy

You and my wife took

Out on me But what's all that arsenic

Doin' round the house

That's what I can't see Zeke

You tryin' to poison something

That's what you don'

You tryin' to poison somethin'

And what about that night I came home

And caught that lipstick on your face

Yo and my wife broke up the fun

And your wrastlin' all over the place

And you told me

You's playin' Cowboy and Indian and you

Was Chief Rain In the Face

You don't look like

No Indian to me but I'm gonna scalp ya

That's what's gonna happen

I'm gonna scalp ya

And even when we went on our honeymoon

The bell boy told me you rented

The very next room

I know you my friend but I didn't

Wanna see you that soon

Don't you never speak to me no more

Zeke do you call that friendship

(No No ) You ain't no friend of mine
