Rickie Lee Jones - Woody and Dutch on the Slow Train to Peking lyrics
[Rickie Lee Jones - Woody and Dutch on the Slow Train to Peking lyrics]
Hey, hey hey Junior!
Man, who does that look like
Walkin' down the street? Hey, hey
Hey, hey hey Bones! Ey, what're
You doin' back in town, man?
Man, I didn't even know what city I was in!
Crazy that guy!
"I didn't even know what city I was in
" heh!
Dutch took 'em on the slow train to Peking
On La Brea Avenue to find the Stax and Sun
That they was reachin' to get to
They were a rappin the fat scat
Diamond dialectos of points and taps
Between the chicken in the back
And they drew themselves a bebop midnight map
They said "Do you got a
Map to the next joint?"
"Do you got a map to the next joint?"
Pick it up on the night train
Down on the corner of rhythm and blues
Where I have met all o' my
Boys since back in '52
Bringing 'em Stax and Sun
'Cause, I think that Cleveland forgot
And Memphis forgot
Where they were comin' from
Do ya like it, do ya like it like that?
Do you like rappin' the fat scat?
I was walkin' down the street in
My '57 Lincoln, white and brown
Shakin' that
Thing the way I do, and policeman said
"Girl you can't walk like that
" and my boyfriend said
I got the boogie, woogie, in my socks!
(Where else?)
Ah, please, don't make the little girl stop!
(Heh heh heh heh)
Woody and Dutch dance the cell of fourteen
Like a pill, they do it all night
The spectators, whitewalls
Fins and greased back every Saturday night
Leanin' the scenery, pickin' up the kids
At the next door neighbours', and
I know what you did, yeah
Well I got a room you can prob'ly stay in
If you promise you won't make too much noise
Ah well, no I won't!
Ah, lemme see you promise that, baby
No I don't! Hah, aw, no problem!
Man, who does that look like
Walkin' down the street? Hey, hey
Hey, hey hey Bones! Ey, what're
You doin' back in town, man?
Man, I didn't even know what city I was in!
Crazy that guy!
"I didn't even know what city I was in
" heh!

They were a rappin the fat scat

Between the chicken in the back
And they drew themselves a bebop midnight map

Map to the next joint?"
"Do you got a map to the next joint?"
