Big Mama Thornton - I Ain't No Fool Either

 
0
Copied!

{Intro}
I ain't no fool, neither

{Verse 1}
Don't be laughin' at me 'cause I slipped and fell on the floor
You ain't nothin' but a big ol' juicehead yourself, you know
I ain't no fool, but you can think so if you want to

{Refrain}
Daddy
But you get the biggest, the most shocking
The doggone-est surprise of your life

{Verse 2}
I know I'm sharp and I'll knock you out
But I don't dig that jive about the mop and me lookin' like a bowl of sauerkraut
And did you tell anybody, anybody, that I was from puttin' up all the dough?

{Refrain}
Daddy
Well, you get the biggest, the most shocking
The doggone-est surprise of your life, yes, I'm talkin' a surprise

{Interlude}
'Cause I ain't no fool for nobody
You better know it, daddy
Oh, you better stop all that old foolishness you talkin' about

{Verse 3}
You talkin' 'bout my looks, ain't got no class
And you got a face that look like a picture on a iodine glass
You better go on, stop messin' with me

{Refrain}
Daddy
Well, you get the biggest, the most shocking
Doggone-est surprise of your life

{Verse 3}
If you don't watch what you do and say
Then I'll know where to find you every Decoration Day
'Cause I ain't no fool, you can think so if you want to

{Refrain}
Daddy
But you'll get the biggest, the most shocking
Doggone-est surprise of your life

{Outro}
Well, you'll get the biggest, the most shocking
The doggone-est surprise of your life
I ain't no fool, you better know it

Full of humor and attitude, this song is a classic example of Big Mama Thornton's commanding presence and undeniable talent.

Biography

Big Mama Thornton was a distinctive, powerful jump blues singer who, along with many others, had her songs “borrowed” and sanitized by “rock and roll” singers considered safer, by the establishment, for white teens, than the “colored” boogie-woogie those kids loved.

Her hit Hound Dog, about a worthless layabout of a man, was weirdly turned into a song about an actual dog, by Elvis Presley, who probably didn’t want to sing about men who only wanted him for sex and money.

Initially discouraged about that sort of hijacking of her music by the likes of Janis Joplin and Elvis (“I have no idea what that rabbit business is all about. The song is not about a dog, it’s about a man, a freeloading gigolo”), she reached another peak of success years later, recording blues albums with some of the top performers of that genre like guitar gods Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, and Muddy Waters.
