Lyrics

Oh, Cocoa
 Well, folks, I'm goin' down to St. James Infirmary
 To see my little baby there
 She's stretched out on a long, white table
 Well, she looks so good, so cold, so fair
 Let her go, let her go, God bless her
 Wherever she may be
 You may search this whole wide world over
 But you'll never find another sweetheart like me, yeah
 ♪
 Take apart your bones and put 'em back together
 Tell your mama that you're somebody new
 Feel the breeze blowin', tell 'em all, "Look out, here it comes"
 Now I can say whatever I feel like to you
 Then get me six crap-shootin' pallbearers
 Let a chorus girl sing me a song
 Put a red-hot jazz band at the top so that we can raise
 Hallelujah, as we go along, well
 ♪
 Well folks, now that you have heard my story
 Say, boy, hand me another shot of that rye
 And if anyone else should ask you
 Just tell 'em I've got some of those St. James Infirmary blues
