Gimme A Pigfoot |
| Up in Harlem ev’ry Saturday night |
| When the highbrows get together its just too tight |
| They all congregates at an all night strut |
| And what they do is tut-tut-tut |
| Old Hannah Brown from 'cross town |
| Gets full of corn and starts breakin' 'em down |
| Just at the break of day |
| You can hear old Hannah say |
| Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer |
| Send me 'gain, I don’t care |
| I feel just like I wanna clown |
| Give the piano player a drink |
| Because he’s bringin' me down! |
| He’s gotta rhythm, Y-e-e-a-a-h! |
| When he stomps his feet |
| He sends me right off to sleep |
| Check all your razors and your guns |
| We gonna be 'rested when the wagon comes |
| I wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beer |
| Send me 'cause I don’t care |
| Play me 'cause I don’t care |
| (Trumpet Solo) |
| Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer |
| Send me 'gain, I don’t care |
| I feel just like I wanna clown |
| Give the piano player a drink |
| Because he’s bringin' me down |
| He’s got rhythm, Y-e-e-a-a-h! |
| 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 risin' sun |
| Give me a reefer and a gang o' gin |
| Play me 'cause I’m in my sin |
| Play me 'cause I’m full of gin |
