Now, go get the night light, somethin' gettin' wrong with my Fridgidaire1
Go get the light, now, somethin' gettin' wrong with my Fridgidaire
Well now, what's gettin' to matter with it, it takes God, you know, in this world to tell
Now, I just brought me a Fridgidaire and I brought me a kitchen set, too
Now, I brought me a brand new Fridgidaire, I brought me a kitchen set too
Well, said I been lookin 'round all over this town, I swear, I want none of these women blue
Now I have me coffee early in the mo'nin', I want you to have me tea at night
I need coffee sweet, early in the mo'nin', I want you to have me tea at night
Well 'n if I can't get my tea three times a day, mama, it look like me an you can't get along right
Now, but that's alright mama, I don't like the way you do
No, but that's alright mama, baby, I don't like the way you do
Well, but I been tryin' two or three days, woman, you know just to get rid of you

Note 1: Fridgidaire, the first big (U.S.) brand name in automatic refrigerators. Automatic because, instead of putting the ice in yourself, a sealed refrigerant kept the box cold.
