Transcript	Lyrics : First verse Miss Madame Lee, the fortune teller, lost a ring an' a necklace too; Her husband gave them to his gal, but Madame never knew. One day a gal came to her house, dressed up to beat the band, An' Madame saw her long lost ring when she said "Read my Hand." Dat gal wore Madam's necklace, Miss Madame she saw red, She reached in her stockin' for her barber's friend, an' to that gal she said: Chorus<brChorus - "You’re gwine to get somethin' What you don't expect; It aint no money an' it aint no check; You’re gwine to get somethin' that will put you in a wood kimona satin lined an' trimmed with tin; You'll fall into a piece of land 'bout six by two, You're gwine to get it good, because it’s comin' to you; You'll get it in a certain place that rhymes with wreck, Cause you gwine to get somethin' What you don't expect. You're gwine to get somethin' What you don't expect; It aint no money an' it aint no check; You're gwine to get somethin' that will put you in a wood kimona satin lined an' trimmed with tin; You'll fall into a piece of land 'bout six by two, You're gwine to get it good, because it's comin' to you; You'll get it in a certain place that rhymes with wreck, Cause you gwine to get somethin' What you don't expect. Second verse Dat gal gave up Miss Madam's jew'lry and she gave up all she knew; Den she got hence so fast she found a bran' new street or two. Miss Madame stropped her hair eradicator till it shone, To prove to Mister Madame Lee de reason, men leave home. He cam in unsuspectin', says "Hello, Sweety dear" She says "honey, turn your back and close your eyes" Den whispered in his ear: (Chorus)
