Fats Waller - I'll Be Glad When You're Dead, You Rascal You

I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you
When you're dead in your grave
No more women will you crave
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you

I trust you in my home, you rascal, you
I trust you in my home, you rascal, you
I trust you in my home
You wouldn't leave my wife alone
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you

I fed you since last fall, you rascal, you
I fed you since last fall, you rascal, you
I fed you since last fall
Then you got your ashes hauled
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you

You asked my wife to wash your clothes, you rascal, you
You asked my wife to wash your clothes, you rascal, you
You asked my wife to wash your clothes
And something else I suppose
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you

You know you done me wrong, you rascal, you
You know you done me wrong, you rascal, you
You know you done me wrong
You done stole my wife and gone
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you

You asked my wife for a meal, you rascal, you
You asked my wife for a meal, you rascal, you
You asked my wife for a meal
And something else you tried to steal
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you

Please, don't let me find you, rascal, you
Please, don't let me find you, rascal, you
Please, don't let me find you
'Cause you'll leave this world behind you
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you

Ain't no use to run, you rascal, you
Ain't no use to run, you rascal, you
Ain't no use to run
I done bought a Gatling gun
And you still having your fun, you rascal, you

I'm gonna kill you just for fun, you rascal, you
I'm gonna kill you just for fun, you rascal, you
I'm gonna kill you just for fun
The buzzards gonna have you when I'm done
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you

You done messed with my wife, you rascal, you
You done messed with my wife, you rascal, you
You done messed with my wife
And I'm gonna take your life
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you
