I Can Tell By The Way You Smell Lyrics

    (walter davis)

    Hey, look here baby, what's going on ?
    Step over in the light
    Oh, no! look here.

    Your hair is all wrecked, you're full of sweat
    Your underskirt is wringing wet
    You come in here walking just like a goose
    It looks like somebody just tranked you to loose
    You've been doing something
    You've been doing something wrong
    You've been doing something
    You've been doing something wrong
    I can tell by the way you smell

    And there's grandma and grandpa out on the porches
    Must be kidding 'bout her ninety years
    Ain't too old, god almighty, just keep shifting them gears
    Well, you ain't too old, said you ain't too old
    Ain't too old, doing the boogie, you ain't too old
    I can tell by the way they smell

    Well, it's a-run here mama! just look at little sis'
    Got her hand in her toodle, way up to her wrist
    She's doing something wrong, she's doing something wrong
    She's doing something wrong, god knows she's doing it
    I can tell by the way she smell

    Go on and change your clothes!
