No Soap, No Hope Blues Songtext
von Anita O’Day

I′ve got a soap dish, but I ain't got no soap
I′ve got a hope chest, but I ain't got no hope
I've got a mousetrap, no mouse
I′ve got a household, a-no house
I′ve got the no soap, no hope, no mouse, no house blues

I've got a floor mat, but I ain′t got no floor
I've got a doorknob, but I ain′t got no door
I've got a teapot, no tea
I′ve got a keyhole a-no key
I've got the no floor, no door, no tea, no key blues

Oh, I've got a right to cry, and do I cry, why yes indeed
′Cause I haven′t got a lot at home, I've got I sure don′t need


I've got a soap dish, but I ain′t got no soap
I've got a hope chest, but I ain′t got no hope
I've got a mousetrap, no mouse
I've got a household, no house
I′ve got the no soap, no hope, no mouse, no house blues
I′ve got the blues

Oh, I've got a right to cry, and do I cry, why yes indeed
′Cause I haven't got a lot at home, I′ve got, I sure don't need

I′ve got a soap dish, but I ain't got no soap
I've got a hope chest, but I ain′t got no hope
I′ve got a mousetrap, no mouse
I've got a household, no house
I′ve got the no soap, no hope, no mouse, no house
No floor, no door, no tea, no key blues
