Gimme a Pigfoot |
Up in Harlem every Saturday night |
When the highbrows get together its just so right |
They all congregate at an all night hop |
And what they do is Oo Bop Bee Dap |
Oh Hannah Brown from way cross town |
Gets full of corn and starts breaking 'em down |
And at the break of day |
You can hear ol' Hannah say |
'Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer |
Send me again. |
I don’t care |
I feel just like I wanna clown |
Give the piano player a drink because he’s bringing me down! |
He’s gotta rhyme, yeah! |
When he stomps his feet |
He sends me right off to sleep |
Check all your razors and your guns |
We gonna be arrested when the wagon comes |
I wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beer |
Send me cause I don’t care |
Blame me cause I don’t care |
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer |
Send me again, I don’t care |
I feel just like I wanna clown |
Give the piano player a drink because he’s bringing me down |
He’s got rhyme, Yeah, when he stomps his feet |
He sends me right off to sleep |
Check all your razors and your guns |
Do the Shim-Sham Shimmy 'til the rising sun |
Give me a reefer and a gang of gin |
Play me cause I’m in my sin |
Blame me cause I’m full of gin.' |
