ArtWork By  Mark Betcher

I bought a book of "blue" blues songs. A collection of "suggestive" music... the "rap" music of the day. I wrote a few new verses.


I'll Keep Sitting On It

Georgia White 1936

If you can’t sell it, just keep sittin’ on it
Before you give it away it away for free
You begged for it, don’t care how much you want it
I mean just what I say

Just feel that nice old bottom, built for wear and tear
I really hate to part with such a lovely chair
If you can’t sell it, just keep sittin’ on it
Before you give it away for free

Repeat first verse

When you want something good, you’ve got to spend jack
I guarantee you will never want your money back
If you can’t sell it, just keep sittin’ on it
Before you give it away for free

Repeat first verse

That old slip cover, looks so good to me
Sit on it Honey and bounce me on your knee
If you can’t sell it, just keep sittin’ on it
Before you give it away for free

Look at those legs they are built long and tall
Start up the record player Baby let’s have a ball
If you can’t sell it, just keep sittin’ on it
Before you give it away... give it away for free
