Perkins's copyright has been disputed. On top of the chorus, he repeats 2 verses...
"Well they took some honey from a tree
Dressed it up and they called it me"
"Well half past nine, half past four
fifty women knocking on my door"
...from Griffin's original and adds one of his own:
"Went out last night, I didn't stay late
'Fore I got home I had nineteen dates" - Published by
