Built For Comfort

by Willie Dixon , arranged by Chester Burnett a.k.a. Howlin' Wolf recording of 1969 from The Howlin' Wolf Album (Chess 4543) Some folk built like this, some folk built like that But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need I don't have no diamond, and I don't have no gold But I've got a lot of lovin' and I want you to know That I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need Some folk built like this, some folk built like that But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need Some folk rip and roar, some folk b'lieve in signs But if you want me, you got to take your time Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need But I got everything all the good girls need I, I love you baby I, I love you baby But I got everything all of the good girls need And I don't got no diamonds, don't have no gold Got a lot of lovin' to satisfy your soul I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need
