[Verse]
"Once too often" is an old-time saying
And I've seen it come to pass
It's the fixer, the social mixer
Has lost his gal at last
"Who's that knocking," she said
"After I've gone to my bed?
Hunt yourself another place to flop
Then let these words be a lesson, old top:

[Chorus 1]
"Go back where you stayed last night
Get away from my door
Charlie is my regular now
And I don't want you no more
In another candy shop
You can get your lollipop
Be on the hop
Papa, 'cause I'm through with you
I've been a chump long enough
From now on, I'm gonna be mean
Find another station
To get your supply of gasoline
'Cause when the back of your white collar is showing, that's all I'm able to see
Then I know doggone well you're going
Back where you stayed last night
I don't want you no more
[Chorus 2]
"Take it where you had it last night
Away from my door, call the law
Charlie is elected now
And he's in right sure
I know you come around here lookin' for old Miss Nan
Just as soon as you torn the seat out of your last pair of pants
Now you 'round here preaching and whining and begging for a chance
Try to make good, that's history, that's history
Now that old cedar chest
You once called your trunk
Along with those old worn-out socks
I threw them in the junk
Now when the door slams in your face
It just means no talkin' space
Go back where you stayed last night
Mama don't want you no more

[Chorus 3]
"Brother, I can't see you now, it's after six o'clock
Not to save your soul, or whatever's attached for you
Even though the weather's hot
Or it's zero cold
For my part, you can go out and sleep in anybody's field
Anyway, you're just an old banana that has been peeled
So take it where you had it last night
Mama can't use it no more"
