Aggravatin' Papa 1922

I know a triflin' man
they call him "Triflin' Sam"
He lives in Birmingham
'way down in Alabam'
Now the other night
he had a fight
with a gal named Mandy Brymm
and she plainly stated
she was aggravated
as she shouted out to him:

Aggravatin' Papa
don't you try to twotime me,
I said: "don't twotime me!"
Aggravatin' Papa
treat me kind or let me be,
I mean:
"Just let me be!"
Listen while I get you told
stop messin' 'round
sweet jelly roll,
if you step out with
a high brown baby,
I'll smack you down
and I don't mean "maybe"
Aggravatin' Papa
I'll do anything you say,
yes, anything you say.
But when you go struttin'
do your struttin' 'round my way.
So papa,
just treat me pretty
be nice and sweet
'cause I possess a forty four
that don't repeat,
Aggravatin' papa
don't you try to twotime me!

Aggravatin' Papa
don't you try to twotime me,
I said: "don't twotime me!"
Aggravatin' Papa
treat me kind or let me be,
I mean:
"Just let me be!"
Listen while I get you told
stop messin' 'round
sweet jelly roll,
if you step out with
a high brown baby,
I'll smack you down
and I don't mean "maybe"
Aggravatin' Papa
I'll do anything you say,
yes, anything you say.
But when you go struttin'
do your struttin' 'round my way.
Now papa,
You best be careful
as you can be,
'cause I can beat you doin'
what you're doin' to me
Aggravatin' papa
don't you try to twotime me!

Now I don't mean to scold
but I must get you told,
keep flirtin' 'round so bold,
you'll see my love grow cold.
Don't care who she is,
or what she does
ain't a gal
in this here town,
that can love and pet you
like your own sweet mamma,
so you'd better throw 'em down:

Aggravatin' Papa
don't you try to twotime me,
I said: "don't twotime me!"
Aggravatin' Papa
treat me kind or let me be,
I mean:
"Just let me be!"
Listen while I get you told
stop messin' 'round
sweet jelly roll,
if you step out with
a high brown baby,
I'll smack you down
and I don't mean "maybe"
Aggravatin' Papa
I'll do anything you say,
yes, anything you say.
But when you go struttin'
do your struttin' 'round my way.
So papa,
just treat me pretty
be nice and sweet
'cause I possess a forty four
that don't repeat,
Aggravatin' papa
don't you try to twotime me!

Aggravatin' Papa
don't you try to twotime me,
I said: "don't twotime me!"
Aggravatin' Papa
treat me kind or let me be,
I mean:
"Just let me be!"
Listen while I get you told
stop messin' 'round
sweet jelly roll,
if you step out with
a high brown baby,
I'll smack you down
and I don't mean "maybe"
Aggravatin' Papa
I'll do anything you say,
yes, anything you say.
But when you go struttin'
do your struttin' 'round my way.
Now papa,
You best be careful
as you can be,
'cause I can beat you doin'
what you're doin' to me
Aggravatin' papa
don't you try to twotime me!
