Stranger in Town

I walked all over the zoo and the park. 
I set down on a stone.
I kept wishing I had a girl-friend 
Who would be my very own— 
   But I didn't have nary one, 
   Not nary one a-tall.

I asked my landlady did I have privileges. 
My landlady, she said, No!
I said, It don't make no difference nohow, 
Cause I ain't nobody's beau. 
   Nobody a-tall—
   I ain't nobody's beau.

Of course, I'm just a stranger 
In this strange old town— 
But after I been here awhile 
I'll know my way around. 
   Yes, I'll know
   My way around.
