Well, she bang the sk**et on my head tonight and I was hurtin'
She made me sad for I know not what I do
Before she makes me cry and makes me sleep outside
I got to know why, tell me why
Now if I rest my head on a pillow tonight I will be happy
If he rests his head on a pillow tonight he will be cool
So, why you make me cry and make me sleep outside
I got to know why, tell me why
Bang the sk**et, bang the sk**et tonight
*Guitar Solo*
I ask what's cooking in your pot, I get the pan handle
And if I ask you to stop, I get the end of a broom
Oh, what makes your blood run hot, so high, to make you get out the pot and hit me no reason why
Tell me why, I got to know why
*Horn Solo*
Well, she bang the sk**et on my head tonight and I was hurtin'
She made me sad for I know not what I do
So, why you make me cry and make me sleep outside
I got to know why, tell me why, please tell me why
Bang the sk**et, bang the sk**et tonight
Bang the sk**et, bang the sk**et tonight
Bang the sk**et, bang the sk**et tonight
Bang the sk**et, bang the sk**et tonight
