I find me a paper
I take it on up to my room
You'll find me there later

I'm gonna find me love
I'm gonna find me a car
I'm gonna find me some land in the country far
And I'm gonna drive my lady there,
And pick up my Evening Star

When I have nothing else to do
I buy me a paper
I take it on back home
You'll find both of us later

Gonna sleep with my Woman
Look in the column of adoption
Where gonna get us one little boy and a girl
In the classified
And every time, every time I will remember you
