| I went out to get some groceries the other day
|
| From my neighborhood grocery store
|
| And before I could open my mouth
|
| The grocery man said «No! |
| You can’t get that no more»
|
| That’s what he said, you can’t get that no more
|
| He said, «I sold all I had the other day
|
| It ain’t me Mr. Jordan, it’s the OPA
|
| You just can’t get it, you got to do with what you got
|
| Ain’t go have no more for the duration,
|
| You got to be careful with your boots on»
|
| The hip cats used to stand on the corner in their zoot suits
|
| And them long chains hanging down all looking cute,
|
| But things is very different now since Uncle Sam has got some Japs to shoot
|
| You can’t do that no more
|
| You can’t do that no more
|
| No more standing on the corner day and night
|
| Cause Uncle Sam says you got to work or you got to fight
|
| So you can’t do that no more
|
| No you can’t do that no more
|
| You know the glamour gals stopped glamorizing
|
| They working in defense plants wearing slacks
|
| And some of them fine chicks is cutting out everyday
|
| Joining the wave, the spas and the wax
|
| Now fellas, you can’t get that no more
|
| I am telling you fellas, you just can’t get it
|
| You can’t jive these girls like you used to do
|
| Cause some of them is making more money than you
|
| I am telling you boys, you just can’t get that no more
|
| No you can’t get that no more
|
| You know the girls used to wake up every morning
|
| And say lord send me a handsome man
|
| One that is physically fit
|
| But uncle sam has got all of them now
|
| And the gals is got to take just what they can get
|
| You can’t get that no more
|
| Aint no need to be giggling girls
|
| You just can’t get it no more that’s all
|
| Girls you can’t be particular
|
| You’ve got to take what’s left
|
| Either them worn out 3A's or them beat up 4F's
|
| That’s all you just can’t get it no more
|
| No you can’t get that no more |
