Whittle, Diddle, or Get a Little

[tempo of “Gotta Get Drunk” by Willie]

(Not here to) Whittle, diddle, or get a Little,
I’ve got a job to do,
We’ll have plenty of time to smoke and drink,
Once the day is through,
Take the good ones with the bad,
You can’t always pick and choose,
(Not here to) Whittle, Diddle, or get a little,
I’ve gotta a job to do.

Miss Cordelia was a widow woman,
Called me up one day,
Said, “I need someone to paint my fence”,
I said “I’m on my way”!
(She met me) At the door with nothing on,
And a brand new bottle of wine,
(Now I’m) thinking Miss Betty might of had,
something else in mind.

Chorus:

(Not here to) Whittle, diddle, or get a Little,
I’ve got a job to do,
(We’ll have) plenty of time for drinking wine,
Once the paintin’ is through,
I’ll take the good days with the bad ones,
I ain’t got nothing to lose.
(Not here to) Whittle, Diddle, or get a little,
I’ve gotta a job to do.

I blew through all the paint she had, til there weren’t no more,
Paint was flying’ in record time and
(I was) back knocking on that door.

She said, “Well, well you didn’t waste no time”,
With a twinkle in here eye
I said, “Ma’am, That’s just the 1st coat,
And it’ll need a little time to dry. “


(Just gotta) Whittle, diddle, maybe, get a Little,
When I’ve got a job you see,
(We’ll have) plenty of time for drinking wine,
In between the next coat, or three.
Take the good days with the bad,
I ain’t even gotta think it through,
(Just gotta) Whittle, Diddle, maybe, get a little,
