I'm gonna shadow my baby
Shadow my baby
Gonna shadow my baby
Find out where my money goes

I'm goin' down in the morning
Gonna hire me a private eye
I'm goin' down in the morning
Gonna hire me a private eye
Gonna find out baby
If you're messin' with another guy
I got inlaws, infolk crawlin' all over me
I got inlaws, infolk crawlin' all over me
Livin' under my roof
Wearin' better clothes than me

Gonna shadow my baby
Shadow my baby
I'm gonna shadow my baby
I'm gonna shadow my baby
Gonna shadow my baby
Find out where my money goes

Brought my buddy home
But my hound don't bark no more
Brought my buddy home
But my hound don't bark no more
I got a funny-funny feelin'
My buddy done been here before
She went down last week
Bought her some new red shoes
Went down last week
Bought her some new red shoes
They cost four dollars
My cheque was fifty-two

Gonna shadow my baby
I'm gonna shadow my baby
I'm gonna shadow my baby
I'm gonna shadow my baby
I'm gonna shadow my baby
Find out where my money goes
