Take It Right Back

Oh, sass in the extreme. Repetitive, but man, what a tune. I found these words in the comments of the YouTube video below; I must confess, I find them suspect. It just doesn't sound like she says "good enthused"; frankly, I'm not sure Bessie Smith would even know the word enthused. And I can't find anything that DBA would stand for. I've put the questionable lyrics in bold.

ETA: My mother, once again, to the rescue... She pointed out last night, after giving me some tips on chords, that "DBA" stands for "Doing Business As." Dur. She also suggests "good and through" to replace "good enthused," which I totally like.

You came home about half past three

| D | D7 |

Wakin' me up, papa, you was ballin' me

| G | GM7 |

Take it right back to the place where you got it

| D | D - B7 |

I don't want a bit of it left here

| E - A7 | D |

You just leapin' in rollin' drunk

Smellin' just like you been with any old skunk

Take it right back to the place where you got it

Mama don't want a bit of it left here

Please, let me understand

I don't want nothin' that is secondhand

Take it right back to the place where you got it

You can't leave a bit of it in here

When I tell you that I'm good and through,

There ain't nothin' that your mama wouldn't do

Take it right back to the place where you got it

You can't leave a bit of it in here

Been your cook, but I'm gettin' you told

You got the last of my jelly roll

Take it right back to the place where you got it

Child, you shan't leave a bit of it in here

You just like one of these old tomcats

Always chasin' these no good rats

Take it right back to the place where you got it

You can't leave a bit of it in here

Don't come shootin your no good sass

You ain't got nothin' that I must have

Take it right back to the place where you got it

You can't leave a bit of it in here

I ain't worried, I'm doing very fine

You keep yours, and I'll hold on to mine

Take it right back to the place where you got it

You can't leave a bit of it in here

If you think that I miss you, say

That's just simply your DBA

Take it right back to the place where you got it

I'm gonna pick up the broom and sweep it out of here!
