Louis Jordan - Every Man to His Own Profession lyrics

When a farmer's farmin' let him raise his crop When a woodsman's choppin' let him have his chop When a porter's scrubbin' let him have his mop Every man to his own profession Let a doctor tend to ease and achin' back (Ooooh aye) Let a railroad watchman switch his railroad track Let the laundry helper fill his laundry sack Every man to his own profession When a carpenter is sawin' on a piece of wood Don't you be braggin' that you also could He might hand you a saw and give a wise old call You might start sawin' and saw your fingers off When a schoolmarm's teachin' let her teach her school When it comes to women, don't you be no fool When it's life in general, here's a golden rule Every man to his own profession When a carpenter is sawin' on a piece of wood Don't you be braggin' that you also could He might hand you a saw and give a wise old call You might start sawin' and saw your fingers off When a schoolmarm's teachin' let her teach her school When it comes to women, don't you be no fool When it's life in general, here's a golden rule Everyman to his own profession So, consult the next Burt if you don't wanna be hurt Every man to his own profession
