Takes a rocking chair to rock takes a rubber tire to roll
Takes the man I love to satisfy my soul
Because I'm jealous jealous hearted me
I said I'm jealous jealous as I can be

Got a stove in the kitchen and it bakes nice and brown
But I need a poppa to turn the damper down
Because I'm jealous jealous hearted me
I said I'm jealous jealous as I can be

You can have my money you can have my home
But for goodness sake women leave my man alone
Because I'm jealous jealous hearted me
I said I'm jealous jealous as I can be

Gonna buy me a bulldog to watch him while I sleep
To watch that man of mine on his midnight creep
Because I'm jealous jealous hearted me
I said I'm jealous jealous as I can be
