Aint  nothing I can do  or nothing I can  say
That  folks don't  criticize  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
'T  aint nobody's business  if I do
If  I go to church on Sunday
Then  just Sing the shimmy down  on Monday
'T  ain't nobody's business  if I do, if I do
If  my friend ain't got  no money
And  I say "take all mine, honey"
'T  ain't nobody's business  if I do, do, do  do
If  I give him my last nickel
And  it leaves me in a pickle
'T  ain't nobody's business  if I do, if I do
I'd  rather my man would  hit me
Than  to jump up right  and quit me
'T  ain't nobody's business  if I do, do, do do
I  swear I won't call no  copper,
If  I'm beat up by my  poppa
'T  ain't nobody's business  if I do, if I do
