Hit 's been drizzlin' an' been sprinklin'A
Kin' o' techy all day longB
I ain't wet enough fu' toddyC
I 's too damp to raise a songB
An' de case have set me t'inkin'A
Dat dey 's folk des lak de rainA
Dat goes drizzlin' w'en dey's talkin'A
An' won't speak out flat an' plainA
-
Ain't you nevah set an' listenedC
At a body 'splain his min'A
W'en de t'oughts dey keep on drappin'A
Was n't big enough to fin'A
Dem 's whut I call drizzlin' peopleD
Othahs call 'em mealy moufE
But de fust name hits me bettahC
Case dey nevah tech a droufE
-
Dey kin talk from hyeah to yandahC
An' f'om yandah hyeah ergainA
An' dey don' mek no mo' 'pressionA
Den dis powd'ry kin' o' rainA
En yo' min' is dry ez cindahsF
Er a piece o' kindlin' woodC
'T ain't no use a talkin' to 'emG
Fu' dey drizzle ain't no goodC
-
Gimme folks dat speak out nachulD
Whut 'll say des whut dey meanA
Whut don't set dey wo'ds so skimpyH
Dat you got to guess betweenA
I want talk des' lak de showahsF
Whut kin wash de dust erwayI
Not dat sprinklin' convusationA
Dat des drizzle all de dayI
