                D  
Takes a rocking chair to rock, takes a rubber ball to roll,

Takes the man I love to satisfy my soul,

Because I'm jealous, jealous-hearted me.   
               A7                               D  
I said I'm jealous, jealous as I can be.

Got a stove in the kitchen and it bakes nice and brown,

But I need a papa to turn the damper down,

Because I'm jealous, jealous-hearted me.

You can have my money, you can have my home,

But for goodness sakes, women, let my man alone,  
                     G                               D  
Because I'm jealous, jealous-hearted me.

 buy me a bulldog to watch while I sleep,

To watch that man of mine on his midnight creep,   
                     G                               D  
Because I'm jealous, jealous-hearted me.
