Song:   If It Ain't One Thing It's Anuddah (Bruddah)

Intro:  Prince Markie Dee

Man,  all these problems in our world today
I just don't know what to do,  man

Verse One:  Prince Markie Dee

If it ain't one thing,  it's another
Sell a million copies?  They put me on a magazine cover
I sell one or two,  they claim that I'm played out
My girl nags me at home,  so,  I shoulda stayed out
I buy a new car,  it runs out of gas
In school,  I was always gettin' kicked out of class
Mom would say,  "Be like your older brother!"
If it ain't one thing it's another

Talk:  Prince Markie Dee

You know what I'm sayin' man?  
I mean,  all these problems
Let me tell ya `bout the time when I - Well,  let me break it down for ya

Verse Two:  Prince Markie Dee

Picked up my date at eight in a happy mood
Drove to City Island for some seafood
$3.99 for all you can eat
Shrimp galore,  bon apetit
We ate hearty `till we couldn't eat
Went to the Marriott,  paid for a suite
She was anxious even more that me
And,  man,  I got busy as a bumblebee
When we were done,  I drove her home
Proceeded to my house,  all alone
It started rainin',  I was playin' Bobby Brown
I missed my exit,  so,  I circled around
And that's when it happened,  I didn't get far
A pole jumped in front of my car
I broke my leg,  man,  do I stutter?
If it ain't one thing,  it's anuddah,  bruddah

Verse Three:  Kool Rock Ski

On tour for so long that it wears me down
I've been to every city and every small town
And,  after a while,  things start to ache
I want my body to move,  that d-mn thing won't shake
Then,  one night,  the last date on tour
From that morning my throat was sore
I started gettin' worried,  it wound't be long
`Cause the way my throat was hurtin',  it would soon be gone
Then,  wouldn't you know?  You know it,  yes
I tried to say somthin' but I was voiceless
Showtime came,  I had to lip-synch
It got so wild that I couldn't think
The show was done,  a doctor checked my health
I spent the night all by myself
Man,  what a bummer,  what did I stutter?
If it ain't one thing,  it's anuddah,  bruddah
