You Tell 'Em, Girl!


There ain't nothing I can do, or nothing I can say,
Some folks will criticize me.
So I'm gonna do just what I want to anyway,
And don't care if you all despise me.

If I should take a notion
To jump into the ocean,
It ain't nobody's business if I do.

If I go to church on Sunday
And I shimmy down on Monday,
It ain't nobody's business if I do.

And if my friend ain't got no money
And I say, "All right, take all of mine honey,"
It ain't nobody's business if I do.


If I lend her my last nickel
And it leaves me in a pickle,
It ain't nobody's business if I do.

Billie Holiday was one for the ages. We'll close 2008 with some great live footage. Here's the classic torch song 'My Man,' translated from the French 'Mon Homme...'
