| 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 |
