Funky Butt (I Thought I Heard Buddy Bolden Say)

[Verse 1]
I thought I heard Buddy Bolden say
"Yeah, you're awful, you're terrible, take him away
Disgustin', undesirable, take him away"
I thought I heard him say

[Verse 2]
I thought I heard Buddy Bolden shout
He said, "Open up that window, let that bad air out"
He said, "Boy, you in the back there, in that corner
Open up that window, let that bad air out"
Yeah, I thought I heard Buddy Bolden shout

[Verse 3]
Well, I thought I heard Robert Charles exclaim
He said, "I'm the man drove all those white folks insane"
Yeah, he said, "I killed two dozen people
Just for mistaking my name"
That was Robert Charles' exclaim

[Verse 4]
Now, I thought I heard Buddy Bolden repeat
He said, "Now I can play it hot, or baby, I can play it sweet"
He said, "You know, I lost my mind on Rampart Street"
Yeah, that was Buddy Bolden's repeat

[Cornet Solo]

[Outro]
Hey, Buddy Bolden
Buddy, won't you play them blues?
Hey, Buddy Bolden
Play them any way you choose
