Special Lesson No.1 Songtext
von Roy Brown

Well, when I was twelve years old
I learned something you don′t learn in school
Yes, when I was twelve years old
I learned something you never learn in school
One night I peeked through the bedroom keyhole
Learned all about my Baptist golden rule

Yes, I heard him tell my mammy
"Baby, this is special lesson number one"
Yes, I heard him tell my mammy
"Baby, this is special lesson number one"
He said, "Woman, you're so mean and evil now
But you′ll be crazy about me when I'm done"


Well, he didn't have no school book
The room was black as night
But he wasn′t trying to teach mammy how to read and neither write
He said, "Baby, baby, baby
This is my special lesson number one"
He said, "Woman, you′re so mean and evil now
But you'll be crazy about me when I′m done"

Yes, I looked at the old man
Thought he was acting like a fool
'Cause the pencil he was using
Ain′t the kind we use in school
Oh no, no, no, baby
This is my special lesson number one
He said, "Woman, you're mean and evil now
But you′ll be crazy about me when I'm done"

Yes, the next day I asked the old man
What was special lesson number one
He said, "Boy, that's the lesson
Gave your mammy her only son"
Oh, baby, baby, baby
This is my special lesson number one
He said, "Woman, you′re mean and evil now
But you′ll be crazy about me when I'm done"
