I'm A People Lyrics - George Jones

(Dallas Frazier) 

George Jones 

Now if I was a monkey, a-workin' for a livin', 

I'd be a-gettin' instead of a-givin'. 

A-hangin' by my tail, a-waitin' for the dinner bell, 

Puttin' humans on. 

Every day them fools rush in, 

And lay down the cash and watch me grin 

I put 'em all on, I'd hum a little song, 

An' watch 'em all go tee-hee. 

But I spell a P, a little bitty E. 

Sweet bop, bop, bop, sh-shoo, shoobie doobie doh, 

In a little round O. 

Now you add another P, a big skinny L, 

There's a-one more E, 

An' you got a people that looks like, me.

Now a monkey don't have to go down town, 

An' ask for a job an' gettin' turned down. 

I'm mad at me, I could smash me, 

'Cause I am a people. 

--- Instrumental --- 

Now, a monkey don't have to shoot an' speak, 

All he do is scratch his fleas 

Oh, me, what luxury. 

But I'm a people. 

Now I spell a P, a little bitty E. 

Sweet bop, bop, bop, a-shoo, shoobie doobie doh, 

In a little round O. 

Now you add another P, a big skinny L, 

There's a-one more E, 

An' you got a creature that looks like, me.

Now if anyone knocked on my door today, 

There'd be a little sign says: Gone away. 

Down to the zoo, diggin' you know who, 

'Cause I'm a people. 

Now I spell a P, a little bitty E. 

Sweet bop, bop, bop, sh-shoo, shoobie doobie doh, 

In a little round O. 

Now you add another P, a big skinny L, 

There's a-one more E, 

An' you got a creature that looks like, me...
