| Went down to Albert’s Alley
|
| Pick up on me a Collins mix
|
| Went to the bar an' ordered me a drink
|
| Tried to relax myself
|
| Looked around and saw two soul sisters
|
| They were sippin' sodas
|
| And the other look caught their companions
|
| On the dance floor
|
| They were doin' the Collin’s shuffle
|
| Pretty soon a cute little number
|
| Came and asked me to do the stomp polka
|
| I told her I couldn’t do the stomp polka
|
| I could show her how to do the Sissy
|
| We were on the dance floor
|
| And I was doin' my thing
|
| After a while out of nowhere
|
| Up walks her boyfriend
|
| While she’s standin' there doin' the shivers and shake
|
| He gave me a look that was very icy blue
|
| And believe me, he made me thaw out!
|
| I said to myself, «Albert, don’t lose your cool»
|
| By that time I’d gotten hungry
|
| 'Cause I smelled someone cookin' catfish
|
| Oughta be something along, with some greens
|
| Told him definitely, I didn’t want no leftovers!
|
| The cook took so long about fixin' my grub
|
| I had to go see what was takin' him so long
|
| He was back there jivin'
|
| I had to tell him to get it together
|
| He asked me, «Can't you wait?»
|
| Made me mad, I said, «No man, I ain’t got time
|
| I’ve got to keep on pushin'
|
| I got to make it down the soul road
|
| Got to go, do some turnin' on»
|
| Don’t want person, give me no dyin' food
|
| So I’m leavin' town, goin' home
|
| I’ve got homesick anyway
|
| I’m leavin' this place before I freeze
|
| Goin' home to defrost
|
| Ain’t gonna have me lookin' like a snow cone
|
| I don’t know, he’s gettin' rough! |
