Up in harlem on a saturday night Were the highbrows get together, it´s just to tight We all gather at the harlem strut And what we do is tut tut tut
Ol´ hannah brown, from way cross town Keeps drinking her liquor and she brings them down Just at the break of day You could hear old hannah say
I wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beer Send me daddy, cos I don´t care I feel just like I wanna clown Give the piano player a drink Cause he brought me down
He just send me right off to sleep Check all your razors and your guns
I´m gonna be arrested when the wagon comes
I wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beer Send me cos I don´t care oh no Send me cos I don´t care
I wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beer Send me daddy, cos I don´t care I feel just like I wanna clown Give the piano player a drink Cause he brought me down
He´s got rhythm when he stomps his feet He moves me right off to sleep Check all your razors check your guns I´m gonna be arrested when the wagon comes
I wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beer Send me cos I don´t care oh no Send me cos I don´t care
