[Verse 1]
Down in Louisiana round the dark town dives
There they play a blues they call the "Wicked Fives"
It's a razmatazzy, jazzy melody
You'll agree‚ wait and see
Every night you'll find the shimmyin' sister Kate
Where Miss Minnie Lee the vampire keeps her date
Hear that band‚ ain't it grand?
Listen to the Wicked Fives‚ hot dog
[Chorus]
Now slide, shake
Glide, break
Hop‚ rag
Stop, drag
Do the cut out, you'll want to shout
While they are playin' the ol' Wicked Fives
Now slide‚ then you shake
Glide, then you break
Hop, then rag
Stop, then you drag
You do the cut out, you'll want to shout
While they are playin' the ol' Wicked Fives
[Verse 2]
Hear that ol' cornet with all its jazz
Played like you want it, lots of class
Piano hummin', can't get enough
Ol' drummer drummin', strut your stuff
Everybody dance while they got a chance
Just fall right in line
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Now slide, then you shake
Glide, then break
Hop, then you rag
Stop, then you drag
You do the cut out, you'll want to shout
While they are playin' the ol' Wicked Fives
The Wicked Fives’ Blues was written by Lemuel Fowler.
