What You Want Wid Bess
DuBose Heyward, George Gershwin
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?
