| On the outskirts of town, there’s a little night spot.
|
| Dan dropped in about five o’clock.
|
| Pulled off his coat, said «The night is short.»
|
| He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quart.
|
| He hollered, «Rave on, children, I’m with ya!
|
| Rave on, cats,"he cried.
|
| «It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.
|
| Let’s all get Dixie fried.»
|
| Well, Dan got happy and he started raving.
|
| He pulled out a razor, but he wasn’t shaving.
|
| And all the cats knew to jump and hop,
|
| Cause he was born and raised in a butcher shop.
|
| He hollered, «Rave on, children, I’m with ya!
|
| Rave on, cats,"he cried.
|
| «It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.
|
| Let’s all get Dixie fried.»
|
| The cops heard Dan when he started to shout.
|
| They all ran in to see what it was about.
|
| And I heard him holler as they led him away.
|
| He turned his head, and this is what he had to say.
|
| He hollered, «Rave on children, I’m with ya!
|
| Rave on, cats,"he cried.
|
| «It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.
|
| Let’s all get Dixie fried.»
|
| Now, Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw.
|
| He let us all know he wasn’t scared of the law.
|
| And through The black crossed bar he tossed a note.
|
| And it said «It ain’t my fault, hon, that I’m in here.»
|
| But He hollered, «Rave on, children, I’m with you!
|
| Rave on, cats,"he cried.
|
| «It's almost dawn, the cops ain’t gone,
|
| And I’ve been Dixie fried. |
