Putting It On - The Boswell Sisters

Look out I’m goin'

I’m tired of showin' you

The right from the wrong

You think it’s smart

You’ll be left I the dark

If you keep on puttin' it on

After my preachin'

And all my teachin'

You’re changin' right along

You’d better heed

Slow up on your speed

And stop that puttin' it on

Just remember that I wasn’t a fair-weather friend

But listen, brother, from now on I’ll be shoutin' «I knew you when»

Your house was scratched up

Closed home and patched up

Still we got along

Can’t understand how any man

Could keep on puttin' on

You’d better listen and stop that puttin' it on

Remember

When we met you had nothing at all

Your money’s gone and changed you around

When you’ve haven’t got it

You just wait and see

Your so-called friends will turn you down

Look out I’m goin'

Said I’m tired of showin' you

The right from the wrong

After all my preachin'

And all my teachin'

Why did you keep puttin' it on?

I wasn’t just a sunny-weather friend

But brother, from now on I’m shoutin «I knew you when»

You didn’t have a dollar

Remember when I’m gone

You lost your only friend

By puttin' it on

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Better stop that puttin' it on!
