My Baby Dont Tolerate

Tom: G

G
A friend of mine, he said to me, a skinny girl is a misery

I shook my head because I knew he couldn’t be right 
                                                 Bb        C
That’s when I thought back to just last night
                      G
When I got home, it was maybe a little late 
                    
There was nary a crumb on nary a plate
                       
There was no martini, no glass or grape
                                     Bb       C
It was then I sought to contemplate

Chorus 
           G                               Bb   C
Some things my baby don’t tolerate, no 
G                      Bb   C
My baby don’t tolerate, no 
G                      Bb  C            G
My baby don’t tolerate from me

I said hello honey, how have you been
She said what could you possibly be doing until half past ten
And not being completely insensitive I could tell my ship had run aground
Cause when I puckered up she puckered down
