I Can Tell by the Way You Smell lyrics

[Intro]
Hey, look here baby, what's going on?
Step over in the light
Oh, no! Looka here

[Verse 1]
Your hair is all wrecked
You're full of sweat
Your underskirt is wringing wet
You come in here walking
Just like a goose
It look like somebody
Just tranked you loose
You've been doing something
You've been doing something wrong
You've been doing something
You've been doing something wrong
I can tell by the way you smell

[Verse 2]
And there's grandma and grandpa
Out on the porch
Must be gettin' 'bout ninety years
Ain't too old, God almighty
Just keep shifting them gears
Well, you ain't too old
Said you ain't too old
Ain't too old, doing the boogie
You ain't too old
And I can tell by the way they smell
[Verse 3]
Well, it's a-run-in here mama
Just look at little sis'
Got her hand in her toodle
Way up to her wrist
She's doing something wrong
She's doing something wrong
She's doing something wrong
God knows she's doing it
I can tell by the way she smell
Look out, here she comes
