Intro
Verse 1
You Worse Than A Dog, Teresa, Girl You Break Meh Heart
This Morning You Take Meh Dollar, Now You Playing Smart
This Morning You Come, We Talk, We Business Quiet And Soft
Everytime I Come You Making Excuses
And Trying To Put It Off
Chorus
You bawling now :
"Sparrow, Let Me Go, Boy, Don't Hold Me So
Meh Mama Goin’ Know, Sparrow Darling, Wait 'Til Tomorrow"
"Teresa, I Love You And I Always Thinking Of You
Yo Te Quiero Mucho, I Really Can't Wait For Tomorrow"
Verse 2
Never Me Again, Teresa, To Give You A Cent
I Rather To Give A Beggar Upon The Pavement
I Try All Meh Best With You, But Girl I Know And I See
You Will Never, Never Love Anybody
All You Want Is Some Currency
Chorus
You bawling :
"Sparrow, Let Me Go, Boy, Don't Hold Me So
Meh Mama Goin’ Know, Sparrow Darling, Wait 'Til Tomorrow"
"Teresa, I Love You And I Always Thinking Of You
Yo Te Quiero Mucho, I Really Can't Wait For Tomorrow"
Verse 3
Now Make Up Your Mind, Theresa, I Ain't Making Joke
I Don't Want To Use Meh Razor, But This Thing Won't Work
Give Me Back Me Money Or Else Settle Up Socially
You Could Never, Never Take Meh Money And Then
Making Old Style On Me
Chorus
Stop bawling :
"Sparrow, Let Me Go, Boy, Don't Hold Me So
Meh Mama Goin’ Know, Sparrow Darling, Wait 'Til Tomorrow"
"Teresa, I Love You And I Always Thinking Of You
Yo Te Quiero Mucho, I Really Can't Wait For Tomorrow"
Verse 4
Don’t Make So Much Noise, Teresa, Darling Have A Care
There Is Nothing Irregular Going On In Here
This Morning You Take Meh Dollar To Buy Tickets For The Show
Now I Come To Take You Out To The Theatre
You Bluntly Refuse To Go
Chorus
Now you bawling :
"Sparrow, Let Me Go, Boy, Don't Hold Me So
Meh Mama Goin’ Know, Sparrow Darling, Wait 'Til Tomorrow"
"Teresa, I Love You And I Always Thinking Of You
Yo Te Quiero Mucho, I Really Can't Wait For Tomorrow"
