Arr. by howlin' wolf (chester arthur burnett)



Some folk built like thissome folk built like that

But the way I'm builtyou shouldn't call me fat

Because I'm built for comfortI ain't built for speed

But I got everything all the good girls need



I don't have no diamondand I don't have no gold

But I've got a lot of lovin' and I want you to know

That I'm built for comfortI ain't built for speed

But I got everything all the good girls need



Some folk built like thissome folk built like that

But the way I'm builtyou shouldn't call me fat

Because I'm built for comfortI ain't built for speed

But I got everything all the good girls need



Some folk rip and roarsome folk b'lieve in signs

But if you want meyou got to take your time

Because I'm built for comfortI ain't built for speed

But I got everything all the good girls need



But I got everything all the good girls need

I ... I love you baby

I ... I love you baby

But I got everything all of the good girls need



And I don't got no diamondsdon't have no gold

Got a lot of lovin' to satisfy your soul

I'm built for comfortI ain't built for speed

But I got everything all the good girls need



(lyrics as recorded in 1968 for "the howlin' wolf album")
