You Can’t Judge a Book

Willie Dixon

That's nice... Yeah... All right... mhm... Bit of drums now

Yeah, all right... Yeah, come on boys!

Ah, you can't judge an apple by looking at the tree
You can't judge a honey by looking at a bee
You can't judge a daughter by looking at the mother

You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
Well uh, can't you see (can't you see)
Oh Lord, how you misjudge me
I know I look like a farmer
But uh, I'm a lover
Well you can't judge a book by looking at the cover

Now you, can't judge the sugar by looking at the cane
You can't judge a woman by looking at the man
You can't judge a sister by looking at the brother

You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
Well uh, can't you see (can't you see)
Oh ah, how you misjudge me
I know I look like a farmer
But uh, I'm a lover
Well you, can't judge a book by looking at the cover

Get it on it now... Yeah... wooh Lord! Oh, Bobby too!

Oh you can't judge a fish by just looking at the pond
You can't judge the right from just looking at the wrong
You can't judge the one by just looking at the other

You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
Oh well uh, can't you see (can't you see)
Oh Lord, how you misjudge me
I know I look like a peasant
But, I'm a lover
Well, you can't judge a book by looking at the cover

Now you can't judge Rod Stewart by looking at his nose
You can't judge Elton John by fathering at his clothes
You can't judge Billy Gap when he's lying in the gutter

You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
Well can't you see (can't you see)
Oh, you misjudge me
I know I look like a farmer
But uh, I'm a lover
Well you can't judge a book by looking at the cover

Yeah, woo, Lord! Yeah, oh, that's nice! I'm trying to open my cover before you start judging my book. Oh! Come on! Blow it! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Ow, sock 'em!

Huh!
