Give a damn, y'all, ooh-wee
Oh, give a damn, y'all, ooh
We're not teasin' you, it would be in vain
If I'm free to see away from you strained
Say you will, say you will, say you will, I will

When you get up to get down, something bad for you
Oh, your luck has found, oh ah, me and you
Say you will, say you will, say you will, I will

A whole lotta nothin' and a way to go
Jimmy cotton corn and a little bit of something
About a day too old
A hippopotamus is way too fat for me
Hip a lot of us, some of us gonna get
Bound to get down but don't be free
Give a damn, y'all
Say you will, say you will, say you will, I will

If the way you die makes life worth livin'
Be true what'll I say, thanks for the thing you're givin' me
Say you will, say you will, say you will, I will

A wooden nickel won't pay my bill
A chip on the shoulder not good for shit
A leaky bottom won't last too long
A freaky rival, never sing my freaky song
Give a damn, y'all
Say you will, say you will, say you will, I will
Give a damn, y'all
Give a damn, y'all
Give a damn, y'all
Give a damn, y'all
Give a damn, y'all
