Pettin’ and Pokin’ Louis Jordan

Now this is the story of Jack and Jill
And I don't mean the couple who went up the hill
I just mean a couple o' lovers that live next door
And they’re always battlin' and I'm tryin' to keep the score

They’re always
Pettin' and pokin' and
Jabbin' and jokin' and
Cuein' and crackin' and
Wooin' and wackin'

They keep neckin' and knockin'
Singin' and sockin' an'
Squawkin' and squeezin' an'
Burnin' and freezin'

Why, he holds her hands as long as he's able
But when he lets go, she bops him with a table

They start right in
Pattin' and pinchin' and
Cloudin' and clinchin'
They're enjoying themselves, havin' a good time

Now Reverend Green thought he'd call one day
On this nicely newly weds across the way
But just as the pastor knocked on the door
A straight right connected; "Mop," he hit the floor
