AIN'T NOBODY'S BUSINESS BUT MY OWN
by Irving Taylor

(As performed on the Muppet Show by Jim Henson and Twiggy)


TWIGGY:
You got a gal you love on Sunday
Then you get another for Monday
JIM HENSON:
Ain't nobody's business but my own

JIM HENSON:
You say you're always home alone
How come I can't get you on the phone
TWIGGY:
Well, that ain't nobody's business but my own

BOTH:
Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own

TWIGGY:
All night long your playin' poker
Tell me what's the name of that joker
JIM HENSON:
Ain't nobody's business but my own

JIM HENSON:
I come over, say "Here I am!"
Then I hear the back door slam
TWIGGY:
Well, that ain't nobody's business but my own

BOTH:
Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own

(Instrumental Break)

JIM HENSON:
You tell me you're in bed by seven
But your light's on past eleven
TWIGGY:
Well, that ain't nobody's business but my own

TWIGGY:
Now you ain't so smart and you ain't good lookin'
How come you got so much cookin'
JIM HENSON:
Ain't nobody's business but my own

BOTH:
Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own

TWIGGY:
And you wear the prettiest ties and collars
Whereabouts do you get those dollars
JIM HENSON:
Ain't nobody's business but my own

JIM HENSON:
You always talk about settlin' down
When I bring a ring, you're not around
TWIGGY:
Well, I'll be there the next time that you call

TWIGGY:
Well let's not fuss and let's not fight
JIM HENSON:
I'm sick and tired of sayin' "Goodnight"
TWIGGY:
Well, let's make up and hold each other tight

BOTH:
We both know we're birds of a feather
Let's go into business together
We can start a business of our own

Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but our own
Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but our own

I sailed on the wings of time to be with you
I followed this dream of mine
And I'll see it through
It was a dream and a promise that I intend to keep
Right here within my soul so deep
