One Monkey Don't Stop No Show Lyrics - Bathhouse Betty - Bette Midler

My baby jumped up this morning, sat on the side of the bed 

He said, "I'm leaving you, baby" and this is just what I said 

I said, "I can't make you stay if you want to go 

But it's high time, baby, that you should know" 

One monkey don't stop no show 

One monkey don't stop no show 

So, if you still wanna go, go ahead 

And I mean every word I said 

My baby thought I was jivin', he went right out the door 

He left me about three in the morning, I got me a man at four 

Some women cry when their men bleed 'em dry, long and slow 

But I found out somethin' a long time ago 

One monkey don't stop no show 

One monkey don't stop no show 

So if he gets too big for his pants 

You better spring that new one and give him a chance 

I used to be a chicken hearted, cry when he'd walk out the door 

'Cause I was just young and stupid, ha, ain't like that no more 

'Cause I had a hard way to go but I learned the score 

And I'm here to tell you and I should know 

One monkey don't stop no show 

One monkey don't stop no show 

Let him do anything he choose 

There's a million men who can fill his shoes 

One monkey don't stop no show 

One monkey don't stop no show 

One monkey don't stop no show 

You can tell him I told you so, all right
