| (spoken: |
| Twenty-five cents? |
| Ha! |
| No! |
| No! |
| I wouldn’t pay twenty-five cents to go in nowhere 'cause listen here) |
| Up in Harlem ev’ry Saturday night when the high-browns git together it’s 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 gate |
| 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, yeah! |
| When he stomps his feet, he sends me right off to sleep |
| Check all your razors and your guns |
| We gonna be rasslin' when the wagon comes |
| I wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beer |
| Send me 'cause I don’t care |
| Slay me 'cause I don’t care |
| Gimme a reefer and a gang o' gin |
| Slay me, 'cause I’m in my sin |
| Slay me 'cause I’m full of gin |
| Check all your razors and your guns |
| Do the |
| Shim-sham shimmy |
| Till the risin' sun |
