Now quit that knocking on the door
You plain poodle licker, now quit that knocking on the [Bbm]

[Abm] Oh, Monty had a yellow [Cm] [B] object
Shouldn't have had to the gal, she had to large

She swallowed the cup and all
Now quit that knocking on

Now quit that knocking on the henhouse door, my gosh, just quit that knocking on the door
[Bb] You blame fool nigger, now quit that [Db] knocking on the door
I dreamt for a dream the other night and everything [Bb] was still
[Db] I didn't pass all my suits, I was keeping down the hill
Now quit that knocking on the henhouse door, my gosh, just quit that knocking on the door
You blame fool nigger, now quit that knocking on the door
Well, you know that you know that [Ab] mule I take
[Db] And I'll keep your feet beside the [Bb] game that you drive [Db] no way
Now quit that knocking on the henhouse door, my gosh, just quit that knocking on the door
You [Bb] blame fool nigger, now quit that [Db] knocking on the door
