What you want wid Bess?
She's gettin' ol' now
Takes a fine young gal
To satisfy Crown

Look at this chest
And look at these arms you got
You know how it's always been with me
These five years I've been your woman

You could kick me in the street
Then when you wanted me back
You could whistle, and there I was
Back again, lickin' your hand
There's plenty better lookin' gal than Bess

Look at this chest
And look at these arms you got
You know how it's always been with me
These five years I've been your woman

What you want wid Bess?
Let me go to my man
What you want wid Bess?
