Gimme A Pigfoot

Lyrics

Up in Harlem ev'ry Saturday night
 When the highbrows get together its 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 'gain, 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 gotta rhythm, Y-e-e-a-a-h!
 When he stomps his feet
 He sends me right off to sleep
 Check all your razors and your guns
 We gonna be 'rested when the wagon comes
 I wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beer
 Send me 'cause I don't care
 Play me 'cause I don't care
 (Trumpet Solo)
 Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
 Send me 'gain, 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, Y-e-e-a-a-h!
 When he stomps his feet
 He sends me right off to sleep
 Check all your razors and your guns
 Do the shim-sham-shimmy 'til the risin' sun
 Give me a reefer and a gang o' gin
 Play me 'cause I'm in my sin
 Play me 'cause I'm full of gin
