Gimme a Pigfoot

[Intro]
Twenty-five cents?
No, honey
I wouldn't pay twenty-five cents to go in nowhere
Listen here

[Verse 1]
Up in Harlem ev'ry Saturday night
When the highbrows get together it's just too tight
They all congregate at the all-night strut
And what they do is tut-tut-tut

[Verse 2]
Old Hannah Brown from way 'cross town
Gets full of corn and starts breakin' 'em down
Just at the break of day
You can hear old Hannah say

[Chorus]
Gimme a pigfoot, yeah, and a bottle of beer
Send me 'gain, I don't care
I feel just like I wanna clown
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's bringin' me down

[Verse 3]
He's gotta rhythm, yeah!, when he stomps his feet
He sends me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
We gonna be 'rested when the wagon comes

[Chorus]
I wanna pigfoot, oh, and a bottle of beer
Send me 'cause I don't care
Slay me 'cause I don't care

[Trumpet Solo]

[Chorus]
Oh, gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me 'gain, I don't care
I feel just like I wanna clown
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's bringin' me down

[Verse 3]
He's got rhythm, yeah, when he stomps his feet
He sends me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
Do the shim-sham-shimmy 'til the risin' sun

[Chorus]
I wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me 'cause I don't care
Slay me 'cause I don't care
