You Run Your Mouth and I'll Run My Business lyrics

You cats keep beatin' up your chops

I oughta turn you over to the cops

But dig this spiel I’m gonna lay on you gate

Don’t cop your broom, park the body and wait

You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother

You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother

You tell everybody I'm busted

You talk so much you got me disgusted

But you run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother

You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother

You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother

You started telling me you're my pal

And end up telling me how to handle my gal

You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother

You run your juicy mouth and I'll run my business, brother

Just run your juicy mouth and I'll run my business, brother

You're always telling me what to do

Saying "I wouldn't do that if I was you"

You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother

Just clamp your liver lips and I'll run my business, brother

Clamp your liver lips and I'll run my business, brother

If I'd followed your advice on how to make dough

I'd been in the jailhouse long ago

You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother

[Instrumental Break]

Do you dig me, Jack?
