Lyrics:
I play an old piano from nine till a half past one
Tryin' to make a livin' watchin' everybody else
have fun
Well, I don't miss much that ever happens on a
dance hall floor
Mercy, look what just walked through that door
Well, hello T-R-0-U-B-L-E
What in the world you're doin' A-L-O-N-E?
Say, hey good L-double O-K-I-N-G
I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E
I was a little bitty baby when my papa hit the
skids
Mama had a time tryin' to raise nine kids
Told me not to stare 'cause it was impolite
And did the best she could to try to raise me
right, hey
But mama never told me 'bout nothing like Y-O-U
Say, your mama must have been another good looking
mother too
Say, hello good L-double O-K-I-N-G
I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E
Well, you talk about a woman I've seen a lot of
others
But too much something and not enough another
You've got it all together like a lovin' machine
Lookin' like glory and walkin' like a dream
Mother Nature's sure been good to Y-O-U
Well, your mama must have been another good
looking mother too
Say, hey, good L-double O-K-I-N-G
I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E
Well, you talk about a trouble-makin' hunka pokey
bait,
The men are gonna love and all the women gonna
hate
Reminding them of everything they never gonna be
Maybe the beginning of a World War III
Oh, for the world ain't ready for nothin' like a
Y-O-U
Well, I bet your mama must have been a good
looking mother too
Say hey good L-double O-K-I-N-G
I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E
