Bb King/got Some Help I Don't Need

My daughters sent me some CD's for Mother's Day and I was glad to get all of them, but opened BB King first.
Back in the day, I wore out 8 track tapes, then cassette tapes, now I'm gonna wear out this one and other CD's.

BB sings a blues song that tickles my funnybone, "I Got Some Help I Don't Need:"
"I believe you runnin out on me baby
I got some help I don't really need
I went to work this mornin
And decided to double back
And parked in front of the house
Was a brand new Cadillac (and I don't have one)
I got some outside help I don't need
The ice man comes
And don't leave no ice
The postman comes
And don't even ring twice
You tell that iceman
I'm hot on his trail
Tell that postman
He better leave some mail
That insurance man
Better write some on himself
Cause I believe, I believe,
I got some help I don't really need."

I hafta go find it on youtube too. I'd remember it if I had heard it before.

Hi jj; I think Ray Charles sang it too, with the added stanza about "moving to the country, and all our kids better look like me!"
