| GIMME A PIGFOOT (AND A BOTTLE OF BEER) | |||||||||
| Up in Harlem on a Saturday night When the highbrows get together it's just too tight They all gather at the Harlem Strut And what they do is a tut-tut-tut Old Hanna Brown from way cross town Keeps drinking her corn liquor and she brings them down Just at the break of day you could hear old Hanna say I wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beer Send me daddy cos I don't care I feel just like I wanna clown Give the piano player a drink because he's bringing me down He's got rhythm when he stomps his feet He just sends me right off to sleep Check all your razors and your guns I'm gonna be arrested when the wagon comes I wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beer Send me cos I don't care oh no Send me cos I don't care I wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beer Lay me daddy cos I don't care I feel just like I wanna clown Give the piano player a drink because he's bringing me down He's got rhythm when he stomps his feet He just sends me right off to sleep Check all your razors check your guns I'm gonna be arrested when the wagon comes I wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beer Send me cos I don't care oh yeah Lay me cos I don't care |
