Louis Armstrong
Put It Where I Can Get It
Come on boys, I say, and gather round me
I am just as single as I can be
I’ve got something at home on my shelf
If that ain’t enough, I will get you something else
I ain’t joking, boys and I don’t never [?]
Shake my tree and the peaches will sure fall
I don’t mean to break no one’s loving up
I only mean to strut my stuff
If you have anything for me
Won’t you please baby, I said baby
I’ve got something I know that you lack
And I’m sure gonna [?], I said I’ll [?]
I like some things to lay for me a long time
Something that pleases my mind
If you wanna sin, slide across to me
I’ll back my wagon undernеath your Christmas tree
If you got a tree you think will fit, sweet daddy
Put it where I can get it
[Cornet and Clarinet: Louis Armstrong, Johnny Dodds]
Listеn sweet daddy, you know it’s understood
That every woman wants a man that [?] her good
If you got a tree you think will fit, sweet daddy
Put it where I can get it
Papa, I want you to be here and try
To send Santa Claus to me until I die
Try to get a tree you think will fit, sweet daddy
Put it where I can get it, I said
Put it where I can get it
