VS: Who is there? LJ: Furniture man. [spoken words]

VS: Ahhh, Ahhh shucks, I ain't got no money today. [spoken words]

VS: Furniture man, please don't take my furniture away.
LJ: I got ta take it, I ain't goin' to let it stay.
VS: I'm a hard workin' woman.
LJ: Yes, but you don't seem to get much pay.

VS: Don't be so mean, give a poor girl a little time.
LJ: You done had your time, and now it is a crime.
VS: But I'm a good lovin' mama.
LJ: Yes but you ain't got a lousy dime.

VS: Furniture man, don't move my lovin' foldin' bed.
LJ: I'm goin' to move it, or lose my job instead.
VS: That's where I get my pleasure.
LJ: Oh no, that's where you rest your head.

VS: Furniture man, let me have another week to pay.
LJ: I said no, hot mama, I must have some dough today.
VS: Well, my man will bring some money.
LJ: Well, he better bring it right away.

VS: Leave my stove ‘cause it's gettin' too dog gone cold.
LJ: I got to haul your ashes before they get too old.
VS: Please remove that flicker.
LJ: Then it will be red hot I'm told.
