Zoot Suit Riot

Who's that whisperin' in the trees?

It's two sailors and they're on leave

Pipes and chains and swingin' hands

Who's your daddy? Yes, I am

Fat cat came to play

Now you can't run fast enough

You'd best stay away

When the pushers come to shove

Zoot suit riot (Riot)

Throw back a bottle of beer

Zoot suit riot (Riot)

A-pull a comb through your coal black hair

Zoot suit riot (Riot)

Throw back a bottle of beer

Zoot suit riot (Riot)

A-pull a comb through your coal black hair, blow, daddy!

A whipped-up jitterbuggin' brown eyed man

A stray cat frontin' up an eight-piece band

Cut me, Sammy, and you'll understand

In my veins, hot music ran

You got me in a sway

And I want to swing you, dove

Now you sailors know

Where your women come for love

Zoot suit riot (Riot)

Throw back a bottle of beer

Zoot suit riot (Riot)

A-pull a comb through your coal black hair

You're in a zoot suit riot

You're in a zoot suit riot

You're in a zoot suit riot

Oh, you got me in a sway

And I want to swing you, dove

Now you sailors know

Where your women come for love

Zoot suit riot (Riot)

Throw back a bottle of beer

Zoot suit riot (Riot)

A-pull a comb through your coal black hair

Zoot suit riot (Riot)

Throw back a bottle of beer

Zoot suit riot (Riot)

A-pull a comb through your coal black hair

You're in a zoot suit riot

You're in a zoot suit riot

You're in a zoot suit riot

I think I'm about ready to sing it
