D-DU-UDU
 And I ain’t no doctor
 And I ain’t no nurse
 I ain’t no lawyer  babe
 And nothin’ couldn’t be worse
 I ain’t done no aristocrat
 A hangin’ in my tree
 So tell me little momma
 Why you messin’ with me
 Looks like a lo-o-o-on-ng  longshot baby
 Lookin’ like a lo-o-o-n-ngshot  baby to me
 I don’t walk with the president
 I don’t mess with the prime
 I ain’t got no big  shots baby
 Workin’ for me overtime
 I can see you’re sophisticated
 A with your goody two shoes
 So tell me are you’re slummin’  baby
 I got nothin’ to lose
 Repeat chorus:
 Looks like a lo-o-o-on-ng  longshot baby
 Lookin’ like a lo-o-o-n-ngshot  baby to me
 An I ain’t no sinner
 And I ain’t no saint.
 I ain’t no hipocrit  baby
 ‘cept most every day
 I ain’t got no religion
 A-clouding up my brain
 So tell me little  mama,
 Why you jumpin’ my claim
 Repeat chorus (2x):
 Looks like a lo-o-o-on-ng  longshot baby
 Lookin’ like a lo-o-o-n-ngshot  baby to me
