Lyrics

Hey, hey-hey Junior Hey mehn who is that little lad walking down the street Hey- Bones (who's that) hey, hey-hey Bones (it's Bones) Hey what are you doing back in town mehn What?, mehn I didn't even know what city I was in (ooh) Where is that guy? Dutch took 'em on the slow train to Peking on La Brea Avenue To find the Stax and Sun They was reaching to get to They was a rapping the flat scat Diamond dialectos of points and taps Between the chicken and the back They drew themselves a be-bop midnight map They said "do you got a map the next joint?" "Do you got a map the next joint?" Pick it up on the night train Down on the corner of rhythm and blues Where I have met all of my boys since back in '52 Bringing 'em Stax and Sun 'Cause I think that Cleveland forgot and Memphis forgot Where they were coming from Do ya like it? Do ya like it like that? (yeah) Do you like rapping the fat scat? I was down the street mehn I think that something went wrong Shaking that thing the way I do A police man said girl you can't walk like that And my boyfriend said I got the boggy boggy in my socks, where else? Ahh please don't make the little girl stop Oh you dirty- What you say to me Woody and Dutch dance in the cell of 14 Like a pill they do it all night Spectators, white-walls, find and greased back Every Saturday night Leaning in the scenery picking up the kids At the next door neighbors' And I know what you did I got a room you can stay in If you promise you won't make so much noise No I won't Let me see you promise that baby No I don't, oh no problem Ladies and Gentle it's been a pleasure Being here in your wonderful cities (thank you) Get those things off my-
