Lyrics

On the outskirts of town, there's a little night spot
Dan dropped in about five o'clock
Pulled off his coat, said "The night is short."
He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quart
He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with ya!
Rave on, cats," he cried
"It's almost dawn and the cops are gone
Let's all get Dixie fried."
Well, Dan got happy and he started raving
He pulled out a razor, but he wasn't shaving
And all the cats knew to jump and hop
Cause he was born and raised in a butcher shop
He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with ya!
Rave on, cats," he cried
"It's almost dawn and the cops are gone
Let's all get Dixie fried."
The cops heard Dan when he started to shout
They all ran in to see what it was about
And I heard him holler as they led him away
He turned his head, and this is what he had to say
He hollered, "Rave on children, I'm with ya!
Rave on, cats," he cried
"It's almost dawn and the cops are gone
Let's all get Dixie fried."
Now, Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw
He let us all know he wasn't scared of the law
And through the black crossed bars
He tossed a note to his dear
Said "It ain't my fault, hon, that I'm in here."
But hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with you!
Rave on, cats," he cried
"It's almost dawn and the cops ain't gone
And I've been Dixie fried."
