Lyrics for Want Ad Blues

I read your ad this morning, you said you want a real good man I read your ad this morning, you said you want a real good man Now I'm here with you, baby, I wanna know your plan When I'll be goin' to work, I have to wear my uniform When I'll be goin' to work, I have to wear my uniform I got news for you, baby, I keep the darn thing on Well, I can't hully-gully, I can't do a shimmy But when it comes to lovin', I'm a lovin' little fool, oh-oi Come on, daddy, love me all night long I got news for you, Johnny, win yourself a home Well, go to the bedroom, honey, fix the bedroom up Well, go to the bedroom, Johnny fix the bedroom up Got a whole lotta talkin', Johnny wanna talk to you, alright
