LaVern Baker - Gimme a Pigfoot lyrics

Twenty-five cents? No, honey
I wouldn't pay twenty-five cents
To go in nowhere listen here

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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