Sadie Brown and Linda Lee Were as good a pair as could be Till Sadie tried a brand new man Start telling 'bout his good quality How he could love, pet and tease How the things he did would please One night her good man give her the air Sadie cried out loud right then and there Don't never tell nobody what your perfect good man can do You just get them anxious to try some of his good points too If he's nice and sweet and hard to beat Don't tell your bestest friend They'll never rest without a test You know that there is always better than best He may really try to be good and true But if you want to keep him it is up to you Do never tell nobody what your perfect good man can do
