The "G" Man Got the "I" Man

I stopped by Joe's the other night

Boy, all the cats looked beat

Now, no one sounded beat to say

"Say, Sheep, are you all reet?"

Now, I never knew the reason

That the cats all looked so square

But now I'm hip and I dig it

Boy, 'cause the jive is in the air

The cats can't find their jive at night

So they hurry home

Since that G-man's got the T-man and gone

They have to drink their lunch and stagger

Even though they know it's wrong

'Cause the G-man's got the T-man and gone

Yes, one night when the joint was jumpin'

And a knock came at the door

In stepped a man with a shiny badge

And a brand new.44

They've arrested my connection

So I can't find him anymore

'Cause that G-man's got the T-man and gone

They've arrested my connection, Jack

And I can't find anymore

Because the G-man was a square man

But he's hip now because he caught the T-man

All the jive is gone
