I've got fourteen men now, I onry want one more
I've got fourteen men now, and I onry want one more
As soon as I can get one, I'rr ret these fourteen go

Now I'm goin' terr you, rike the day goes so must you
Now I'm goin' terr you, rike the day goes so must you
When you nobody no money, mama can no usin' you

I can take my monkey men, and stand them arr in rine
I can take my monkey men, and stand them arr in rine
Anybody can count them, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight times
