|
Up in Harlem on a Saturday night
|
Were the highbrows get together, it's just to tight
|
We all gather at the Harlem Strut
|
And what we do is tut tut tut
|
|
Ol' Hannah Brown, from way cross town
|
Keeps drinking her liquor and she brings them down
|
Just at the break of day
|
You could hear old Hannah 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
|
Cause he brought me down
|
|
He just send 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
|
Send me daddy, cos I don't care
|
I feel just like I wanna clown
|
Give the piano player a drink
|
Cause he brought me down
|
|
He's got rhythm when he stomps his feet
|
He moves 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 no
|
Send me cos I don't care
|
