I’m glad I don’t have to explain this one. Carroll’s ad libs at the end call to mind the furor over “Louie, Louie” owing to their inscrutability. From the forthcoming New Jack Swingerz.

Chorus:
My baby caught me cheatin’, she freaked at what she found
My baby caught me cheatin’, she stood there on fertile ground
My baby caught me cheatin’, lookin’ like a clown
‘Cause my baby caught me cheatin’ but there was no one else around
I’m sho’ ’nuff good lookin’, if I do say so myself
But sometimes she’s not cookin’ and you have to feed yourself
I would not say I’m selfish, I just like to unwind
And I know well enough to stop this, I won’t wait till I go blind
Well, I guess I had it comin’, after all the time I spent
Pushin’ and a-pullin’ for so long that I got bent
I’m not sure why I’m liable for what I did to myself
After all ain’t it the Bible says you’ve got to help yourself
Chorus repeat
She walked in on somethin’ that she had never seen
My eyes were shut but I was awake in the middle of a dream
She felt a bit discouraged by what she saw me do
She yelled at me to stop, I said there’s plenty here for two
Chorus repeat
Baby caught me noodlin’, noodlin’ on the bone
My baby caught me flippin’, flippin’ all alone
My compromised position, arousin her suspicion…
My baby caught me fishin’, fishin’ with my pole
My baby caught me grippin’, grippin’ on the troll
My baby caught me rubbin’, rubbin’ on the bowl
My baby caught me noodlin’, noodlin’ with my nub
My baby caught me smugglin’, smugglin’ up the frog
