I can't be bothered from now on,

so take it on out the door.
Hey, Grandpa,
what's this we're singing about?
Well, I had a little trouble one time
and I'd like to tell you about it.
Well, I'd like to hear about it.
All right, here we go.
I once lived in a boarding house

on Central Avenue

All they ever had to eat
E

was a dish that they called stew

The boarders all looked puty
from that stew diet every day
G

When the cook brought in that awful dish,
A
D
I heard somebody say
Take it on out the door,
don't bring me any more
G

I'd rather smell Limburger cheese,

so take it on out the door

Rave,
did you ever have any kind of trouble?
I had a little bit one time.
Well, will you tell us about it?
I sure will, Grandpa. right.
I was feeling kind of low one day
G
D
and stopped in at a place.
G

The man behind the little bar

had a kind and smiling face.
A

He poured me out a drink of stuff.
G
He said it tasted swell
D
G

But when I finally got my breath
A
D
Then I began to yell
Take it on out the door
It's burned me to the core
G

My throat is dry like an old bar fly
So take it on out the door

There, Henry
Alton,
didn't you ever have
any kind of trouble?
Women Women?
Oh, oh Women
Boy, you've had women
trouble a long time,
ain't you?
Yeah, this is about the worst deal
I ever had, It is?
Well, tell us about it right now, will you?
A little poetry, yeah, a little verse. right.
I met a pretty girl,
G
D
her face was packed with youth
G
D
She had such golden curly hair,
A
her teeth were pearly too
D
When we got wed,
G
I soon found out some things I didn't know
D
G
D
When she removed her hair and teeth,
I hollered, no, no, no
Take it on out the door,
I've seen too much for sure
Hey, I found out, Sal, you're just half a gal
A
D
So take it on out the door
