Mind Your Own Business (1949)

If the wife and I are fussing, brother that's our right
Cause me and that sweet woman's got a license to fight
Why don't you mind your own business, mind your own business
Cause if mind your business, then you won't be minding mine

Oh, the woman on our party line's the nosiest thing
She picks up her receiver when she knows it's my ring
Why don't you mind your own business, mind your own business
Well, if mind your business, then you won't be minding mine

I got a little gal that wears her hair up high
The boys all whistle when she walks by
Why don't you mind your own business, mind your own business
Well, if mind your business, then you sure wont be minding mine

Minding other people's business seems to be high-toned
I got all that I can do just to mind my own
Why don't you mind your own business, mind your own business
If you mind your own business, then you won't be minding mine

I might tell a lot of stories that may not be true
But I can get to Heaven just as easy as you
Why don't you mind your own business, mind your own business
Well, if mind your business, then you won't be minding mine

If I want to honky tonk around till two or three
Now, brother that's my headache, don't you worry about me
Why don't you mind your own business, mind your own business
If mind your business, you'll stay busy all the time.
