Woody and Dutch on the Slow Train to Peking

Lyrics

Hey, hey-hey Junior
 Hey mehn who is that little lad walking down the street
 Hey- Bones (who's that) hey, hey-hey Bones (it's Bones)
 Hey what are you doing back in town mehn
 What?, mehn I didn't even know what city I was in (ooh)
 Where is that guy?
 Dutch took 'em on the slow train to Peking on La Brea Avenue
 To find the Stax and Sun
 They was reaching to get to
 They was a rapping the flat scat
 Diamond dialectos of points and taps
 Between the chicken and the back
 They drew themselves a be-bop midnight map
 They said "do you got a map the next joint?"
 "Do you got a map the next joint?"
 Pick it up on the night train
 Down on the corner of rhythm and blues
 Where I have met all of my boys since back in '52
 Bringing 'em Stax and Sun
 'Cause I think that Cleveland forgot and Memphis forgot
 Where they were coming from
 Do ya like it? Do ya like it like that? (yeah)
 Do you like rapping the fat scat?
 I was down the street mehn
 I think that something went wrong
 Shaking that thing the way I do
 A police man said girl you can't walk like that
 And my boyfriend said
 I got the boggy boggy in my socks, where else?
 Ahh please don't make the little girl stop
 Oh you dirty-
 What you say to me
 ♪
 Woody and Dutch dance in the cell of 14
 Like a pill they do it all night
 Spectators, white-walls, find and greased back
 Every Saturday night
 Leaning in the scenery picking up the kids
 At the next door neighbors'
 And I know what you did
 I got a room you can stay in
 If you promise you won't make so much noise
 No I won't
 Let me see you promise that baby
 No I don't, oh no problem
 Ladies and Gentle it's been a pleasure
 Being here in your wonderful cities (thank you)
 Get those things off my-
