There ain't 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
And don't care if they all despise me
If I should take a notion
To jump into the ocean
Ain't nobody's business if I do, do, do-la-do, do
If I let my best companion
Drive me right in the canyon
Ain't nobody's business if I do, if I do
If I dislike my lover
And leave him for another
Ain't nobody's business if I do, do, do-la-do, do
If I attend church on Sunday
Then cabaret on Monday
Ain't nobody's business if I do, if I do
Swear I won't call no copper
If I'm beat up by my papa
Ain't nobody's bus'ness if I do, do, do-la-do, do
I'd rather he would hit me
Than just right up and quit me
Ain't nobody's business if I do, if I do
If my daddy ain't got no money
And I say, take all mine, honey
Ain't nobody's business if I do, do, do-la-do, do
If I give him my last nickel
And it leaves me in a pickle
Ain't nobody's business if I do, if I do
