Up in Harlem every saturday night Were the highbrows get together, just to write They all congregate at an allnite hack
What they do is ooh papa dah
Ol´ Hannah Brown, way cross town Gets full of corn and starts brining ´em down And at the break of day You can hear ol´ Hannah say
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer Send me daddy, move right down I feel just like I wanna clown Give the piano player a drink Because he´s bringing me down
He´s got rhythm, when he stomps his feet He moves me right off to sleep Check all your razors and your guns We´re gonna be arrested when the wagon comes
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer Send me ´cause I don´t care
I want a pigfoot and a bottle of gin Send me daddy, move right in Feel just like I wanna shop Give the piano player a drink Because he´s knocking me out
He´s got rhythm when he stomps his feet He moves me right off to sleep Check all your razors and your guns We´re gonna do the huckabuck until the rising sun
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of gin Move me ´cause I don´t care I want a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
