Ain't no lawyer, babe
And nothing could be wise
Workin’ for me overtime

And I ain't no sinner

Lookin’ like a longshot baby to me
Looks like a long, longshot baby

I can see you're sophisticated
I don't walk with the president
Why you messin’ with me
Ain't got no aristocrat
Lookin’ like a longshot baby to me, yeah
Ah, hangin' in my tree
Lookin’ like a longshot baby to me
Ah, cloudin’ up my brain
Looks like a long, longshot baby
I don't mess with the prime
I ain't no hypocrite, babe

I ain't got no religion

So tell me how you [Incomprehensible] babe
I got nothin’ to lose

‘Cept most everyday
So tell me, little mama
Ah, why you jumpin’ my claim
Looks like a long, longshot baby
Looks like a long, longshot baby
Lookin’ like a longshot baby to me
Ah, with your goody two shoes

I ain't got no big shots, babe

And I ain't no saint
So tell me, little mama
