well my pretty baby just left me this mornin’
said she didn’t wanna see me no more
told me not to call her on the telephone
and never come aknockin’ on her door
well i fumed and i fussed and i might have cried a little
my head went aspinnin’ around
but with a little bit of luck and my little black book
i’ll have another’n before the sun goes down
what my baby didn’t know was the same thing happened
not once but a half a dozen times
and she didn’t realize that with a telephone call
i’d have another fickle chicken on the line
but every time i leave i do my best to play the part
of the lovesick heartbroke clown
but with a little bit of luck and my little black book
i’ll have another’n before the sun goes down
now i haven’t got a thing against a pretty little woman
like her walk and her talk and her smile
i’ve been likin’ pretty girls since i found they wasn’t boys
and let me tell ya buddy that’s been quite a while
i like the huggin’ and the squeezin’ and the kissin’ and the teasin’
but don’t you let ’em push me around
’cause with a little bit of luck and my little black book
i’ll have another’n before the sun goes down
now that little girl’s out atellin’ everybody
how she made a big fool out of me
but while i’m out tonight arompin’ and astompin’
she’ll be watchin’ dr casey on tv
so girls let me tell ya better do a little thinkin’
‘fore you tell your lovin’ man to leave town
’cause with a little bit of luck and a little black book
he’ll get another’n before the sun goes down
’cause with a little bit of luck and a little black book
he’ll get another’n before the sun goes down
