Spoken:
All my life ya been doing me wrong 
Now, I don't know how to get along 

But don't ya tell me nothin' 
But don't ya tell me nothin' 
A-don't ya tell me nothin' 
I can see 
A-rock an rollin' be good for me 

Now don't ya tell me nothin' 
A-don't ya tell me nothin' 

(harmonica & instrumental) 
You say it's a dog 
When ya know it's a cat 
You say it's a mouse 
When you know it's a rat 
You say it's fish 
When you know it's a bird 
Tell me nothin' 
'Bout-a what you heard 

Don't ya tell me nothin' 
But don't ya tell me nothin' 
A-don't ya tell me nothin' 
I can see 
A-rockin' rollin' is good for me 

Now don't you tell me nothin' 
A-don't ya tell me nothin' 

(harmonica, guitar & instrumental) 
You say it's right 
And you know it's wrong 
You say it's short 
And you know it's long 

You say it's low 
When you know it's high 
Tell me the truth 
An don't tell no lie 

A-tell me nothin' 
A-don't you tell-a me nothin' 
Don't ya tell me nothin' 
I can see 
A-rockin' an rollin' is good for me 

A-don't you tell me nothin' 
A-don't you tell me nothin' 

(harmonica & instrumental) 
'Ha!' 
You say it's black 
Well you know it's white 
You say it's day 
When you know it's night 
You'll say it's good 
Well you know, it's mean 
It the finest music that I ever seen 

Don't you tell me nothin' 
Don't you tell me nothin' 
But don't tell me nothin' 
I can see 
A-rock an' rollin' is good for me 

Don't you tell me nothin' 
A-don't you tell me nothin' 

(harmonica & instrumental) 
You say it's diamonds 
And you know it's glass 
You say it's good 
When you know it's bad 
You say it's meat 
When you know it's bread 
You tell me it's gold 
And it's a hunk a-lead 

So, don't ya tell-a me nothin' 
Now, don't ya tell me nothin' 
A-don't ya tell me nothin' 
I can see 
A-rockin' an rollin' is good for me 

Now rock, an tell me nothin' 
Rock, an tell me nothin' 

(harmonica & instrumental to end) 
Oooh! 
Whoa-oh! 
'No more' 
'You don't need me, no more.
