The Gouge Of Armour Avenue Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Down on Armour Avenue
They call it Federal Street today
I heard a couple raisin' Cain
Just as I chanced along that way
He must have been a henpecked man
Or some such kind of bird
For though she slipped him in the dozen
Only this from him I heard:

[Chorus 1]
"Oh, oh, baby
Hold your tongue, give me that noise
Oh, oh, baby
Hold your tongue, I've been out with the boys
Baby, why do you keep fretting
When your mama feels for petting?
That's the way to make your mama love her daddy"

[Verse 2]
Music hath the charm, they say
To soothe the savage breast
He started the Victrola off
And folks, it sure was at its best
It did have charms, for in his arms
I seem to see her sway
When he taught her some new dance steps
'Twas then I heard her say:

[Chorus 2]
"Oh, oh, baby
That's so nice, it's so nice
Do it a long time
Or do it twice, do it twice"
Then a copper came by copping
Picked me up, 'twas for eavesdropping
While they danced the gouge of Armour Avenue
