Gimme a Pig ('s) Foot (And a Bottle of Beer) |
(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 |
