[Verse 1]
I ain't good-lookin' and I don't dress cute
I ain't good-lookin' and I don't dress cute
But I just wanna be some good man's substitute
[Verse 2]
I ain't no race horse, I ain't built for speed
I ain't no race horse, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything that a red hot papa need
[Verse 3]
You may fall from the mountains down in a deep blue sea
You may fall from the mountains down in a deep blue sea
You ain't done no fallin' 'til you fall in love with me
[Verse 4]
I ain't no coal man, ain't no coal man's son
I ain't no coal man, ain't no coal man's son
But I can keep you warm until your coal man come
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
Why don't you tell me, pretty mama, so I won't have to wait
Why don't you tell me, pretty mama, so I won't have to wait
Can I be your regular, or did I come too late?
[Verse 6]
I may look green, but I ain't no clown
I may look green, but I ain't no clown
I'm just a red hot papa, just blowed in your town
I ain't good-lookin' and I don't dress cute
I ain't good-lookin' and I don't dress cute
But I just wanna be some good man's substitute
[Verse 2]
I ain't no race horse, I ain't built for speed
I ain't no race horse, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything that a red hot papa need
[Verse 3]
You may fall from the mountains down in a deep blue sea
You may fall from the mountains down in a deep blue sea
You ain't done no fallin' 'til you fall in love with me
[Verse 4]
I ain't no coal man, ain't no coal man's son
I ain't no coal man, ain't no coal man's son
But I can keep you warm until your coal man come
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
Why don't you tell me, pretty mama, so I won't have to wait
Why don't you tell me, pretty mama, so I won't have to wait
Can I be your regular, or did I come too late?
[Verse 6]
I may look green, but I ain't no clown
I may look green, but I ain't no clown
I'm just a red hot papa, just blowed in your town
