[length: 02:46]
[00:11.68]Up in Harlem, every Saturday night
[00:15.70]Where the highbrows get together
[00:18.65]It’s just too right
[00:21.05]They all congregate and all night hop
[00:25.95]And what they do is, ooh boppa dap
[00:31.05]Ol’ Hammer Brown from way across town
[00:35.68]Gets full of corn and starts bringing them down
[00:40.42]And at the break of day
[00:44.62]You can hear ol’ Hammer say
[00:48.93]”Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
[00:54.98]Send me a gate, I don’t care”
[01:00.13]I feel just like I wanna clown
[01:03.60]Give the piano player a drink
[01:06.12]Because he’s bringing me down
[01:08.94]He’s got rhythm, yeah, when he stomps his feet
[01:14.08]He sends me right off to sleep
[01:19.27]Check all your razors and all your guns
[01:23.75]We’re gonna be arrested when the wagon comes
[01:28.09]Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
[01:33.23]Send me ’cause I don’t care
[01:37.24]
[01:42.77]I want a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
[01:48.76]Send me a daddy, move right in
[01:53.45]I feel just like I wanna shout
[01:57.13]Give the piano player a drink
[01:59.75]Because he’s knocking me out
[02:02.64]He’s got rhythm when he stomps his feet
[02:07.60]He moves me right off to sleep
[02:13.16]Check all your razors and your guns
[02:17.57]Do the hucklebuckle to the rising sun
[02:21.81]Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
[02:27.18]Move me, ’cause I’m in my sin
[02:31.45]Gimme a pigfoot
[02:36.21]And a bottle of beer
