Little Walter Lyrics

Hey, Little Walter. (Hey, Little Walter.)
Hey, Little Walter, listen.
Hey, Little Walter,
Something's gonna getcha, Little Walter.

Had myself a roommate and Walter was his name.
He liked to play strange games.
He had a certain hobby he always loved to do.
He thought it was so cool.
He started making money but couldn't pay the rent.
It didn't make much sense.
So I tried to ask him nicely when he planned to pay.
He said, "I doubt it'd be today."

Hey, Little Walter.
Hey, Little Walter, listen.
Hey, Little Walter,
Something's gonna getcha, Little Walter.

He started coming up with clothes I could not buy
And some I could not find.
Taking girls to dinner two at a time,
I didn't pay no mind.
When I saw him driving a brand new fancy car,
I knew he'd gone too far.
So when I tried again to ask him could he pay today,
Walter said, "Today? No way."

Hey, Little Walter.
Hey, Little Walter, listen.
Hey, Little Walter,
Something's gonna getcha, Little Walter.

Things started getting serious, I had to set him straight.
My landlord could not wait.
So I sat him down and told him, "Don't play me for no fool,
'Cause, 'cause I know the things you do."
Things started getting nasty, we broke into a fight.
I thought it would be short, but it lasted half the night.
By the time we were finished, there was a knock at the door.
When Walter went to open it, he was blown to the floor.

I said now hey, Little Walter.
Hey, Little Walter, listen.
Hey, Little Walter,
Something's gonna getcha, Little Walter.
Hey, Little Walter.
Hey, Little Walter, listen.
Hey, Little Walter, (Little Walter)
Something's gonna getcha, Little Walter.
Hey, Little Walter.
Hey, Little Walter, listen. (Oh, listen, listen, listen, Walter.)
Hey, Little Walter. (Ooh, ooh.)
Something's gonna getcha, Little Walter.
Hey, Little Walter.
Hey, Little Walter, listen.
Hey, Little Walter,
Something's gonna getcha, Little Walter.
