I wonder has anybody here
Seen my lovin' Lorenzo, today?
I wonder has anybody here
Seen my lovin' Lorenzo, today?
You know, we had a nice time Christmas
But she left me on New Year’s Day
Oh, you got to know her
When you see her
'Cause she’s so different
From any other girl
Oh, you’ve got to know her
When you see her
From any other girl
Because she’s made up
Like a Coke-Cola bottle
An she got a likeness
It’s outta this world, alright
You know, she’s stutters in her speech
An she wiggle and she wobble
When she walk
She’s stuttered in her speech
An she wiggle an a-wobble
When she walk
Yes, an she got three gold teeth
An she got deep dimples in her jaw, yeah
I say, 'Hello, Lorenzo, Lorenzo
How in the world come you treat me this-a-way?'
I say, 'Lorenzo, Lorenzo
How in the world come you treat me this-a-way?'
Darling, you know that you was gonna leave me
But you didn’t tell me you was goin' to stay
Now, if I can make a half a million
I declare, I’m 'on give it all, to the hoodoo man
I declare, if I can make a half a million
I’m 'on give it all, to the hoodoo man
Just after he promise me that he will
Bring my lovin' Lorenzo, back home to me, again
An I want her back ho-oh-ome, to me again
