[1] If the wife and I are fussin' brother that's our right
'Cause me and that sweet woman's got a license to fight

Why don't you [4] mind your own business
[1] Mind your own business
Well if you [5] mind your business
Then you won't be mindin' [1] mine

Oh the woman on our party line's a nosy thing
She picks up her receiver when she knows it's my ring

I got a little gal that wears her hair up high
The boys all whistle when she walks by

If I want to honky tonk around 'til two or three
Now brother that's my headache don't you worry 'bout me

Mindin' other people's business seems to be high-toned
I got all that I can do just to mind my own

Why don't you mind your own business
Mind your own business
Well if you mind your business
You'll stay busy all the time
