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 |
