They raided the joint |
| They raided the joint, took everybody down but me |
| Yes they raided the joint, took everybody down but me |
| I was over in the corner just as high as I could be |
| Now some were playing blackjack, some were playing skin |
| I had plenty money but they wouldn’t let me in |
| Yes they raided the joint, took everybody down but me |
| I was over in the corner just as high as I could be |
| They treated me like a stranger, like a dirty dog |
| Ate up all the chops, gave me the tail of the hog |
| Then they raided the joint, took everybody down but me |
| I was over in the corner just as high as I could be |
| Now they were drinking gin, drinking mighty fast |
| They offered me some King Kong, but I couldn’t find a glass |
| They raided the joint, took everybody down but me |
| I was over in the corner just as high as I could be |
| Now some were drinking whiskey, some were drinking rhum |
| They had some sneaky peep but they wouldn’t give me none |
| Yes they raided the joint, took everybody down but me |
| I was over in the corner, knocked out as I could be |
| Now gee it sure was funny, the best I ever saw |
| They heard somebody knocking and in walked the law |
| They raided the joint, took everybody down but me |
| I was over in the corner just as high as I could be |
| Now they were dancing in the kitchen, boogin' in the hall |
| Boy down the cordon tell the judge about it all |
| They raided the joint, took everybody down but me |
| I was over in the corner, high as I could be |
