Now she come a-knockin at my door
Now she come a-knockin at my door
Now her key it don't fit
I'm not gonna let her in

Now wouldn't you lookie here
She's got a perfume bottle and a fancy clothes
And a ribbon in her hair
Well she ain't bad-lookin', and I'll give her that
But she ain't all there
And her body ain't as sexy as her underwear
Her stomach ain't big enough I suppose
To eat up all the mean words that she spoke
She gonna try and ring quiet but the doorbell's broke
She gonna hafta knock knock knock, I said
You're gonna knock knock knock, yeah

She come a-knockin at my door
Now she come a-knockin at my door
Now her key it don't fit
I'm not gonna let her in
Now she come a-knockin at my door
Now she come a-knockin at my door
Now her key it don't fit
I'm not gonna let her in

She come a knock-knock, let me in
She come a knock-knock, let me in
She come a knock-knock, let me in
I said no-o-o,
She come a knock-knock, let me in
She come a knock-knock, let me in
She come a knock-knock, please
Oh good God please let me in
No no no no no...
Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin
Would I ever consider to begin to let you in
