| Oh, my bucket got a hole in it |
| Oh, my bucket got a hole in it |
| Oh, my bucket got a hole in it |
| Can’t buy no beer |
| When you’re walkin' down 31st Street |
| You had better look around |
| Police firin' squad is on their beat |
| An you’ll be jailhouse bound |
| (trumpet) 'Play it!' |
| They ain’t-a standin' on the corner |
| Ev’rything was so slow |
| Can’t make no money |
| Tricks ain’t walkin' no mo' |
| (piano) 'Oh, play it, boy' |
| Gonna start a new racket |
| Gonna start it out right |
| Gonna sell moonshine in the day |
| An peddle dope at night |
| Then if I can’t make no money |
| Goin' a catch the Santa Fe |
| Goin’a drink good liquor |
| And let all women be |
| (trumpet & all to end) 'Pla-ay!' |
