Ray Charles
Nobody Loves A Riveter
[Verse 1]
Get me?
Gotcha!
Get me?
Gotcha!
All for one and one for all
That's how us goils plays basketball!
Get me?
Gotcha!
Get me?
Gotcha!
That's how i earn my weekly check
With a rainbow around my shoulder
And a girder around my neck!
Hear the happy riveters!
A girl can love a sailor
A butcher or a tailor

[Chorus]
But nobody loves a riveter but his mother!

[Verse 2]
A girl can love a plumber
Or some guy even dumber
But nobody loves a riveter but his mother!
She'd love a crook
Who'd break into the jewelry shop;
If she's a cook
She'd even love a cop
But when we start to rivet
No woman can outlive it
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
A girl can love an actor
A lawyer or a contractor
But nobody loves a riveter but his mother!
A girl can love a painter
Whose paint makes her fainter
But nobody loves a riveter but his mother!
King salomon! Ten thousand wives all paid his rent
And each one paid one-tenth of one percent
But when we start to rivet
No deaf girl would forgive it

[Chorus]
