I went to work this mornin'
I come home at fo'
I found a pair a-shoes, sittin'
At my back do'
What's that I smell?
What's that I smell?
You know ev'rybody's screamin'
Tell me what's that I smell?

Now, I went to the butcher
To get some meat
When I come back
Now, you were washin' yo feet
What's that I smell?
What's that I smell?
Now ev'rybody's screamin'
Tell me what's that I smell?

When I came home
About half past fo'
I found another cat been goin'
Out my back do'
What is that I smell?
What's that I smell?
Now ev'rybody's screamin'
Tell me what's that I smell?

Now, I sure like peaches
Sure like greens
Sometimes now you know
It smell like boiled sardines
What's that I smell?
What's that I smell?
Now ev'rybody's screamin'
Tell me what's that I smell?

Don't come here
Callin' me honey
Something right here, you know
It smell's mighty funny
What's that I smell?
Tell me what's that I smell?
Now ev'rybody's screamin'
Tell me what's that I smell?
