Jim Kweskin - Three Songs - A Look At The Ragtime Era текст песни

1). Sister Kate's Night Out
Well, everybody Shimmy like my sister Kate
Shake like it jelly on a plate
My Mama wanted to know last night
How sister Kate could do it oh so nice

Now, all the boys in the neighborhood
Knew Kate could Shimmy, and it's mighty good
I may be late, but I'll be up to date
When I can Shimmy like my sister Kate
I mean, shake it like my sister Kate

Now, everybody shake it like my Kate
Never stay home, stay home too late
I get my stuff, about as high as a kite
You know I do it, boy, every night

Now, all the boys in the neighborhood
Knew Kate could Shimmy, and it's mighty good
I know I'm late, but I'll be up to date
When I can Shimmy like my sister Kate
I mean, shake it like my sister Kate

2). Heebie Jeebies
Well, I've got the Heebies, I mean, the Jeebies
Talkin' about, I got the Heebie Jeebies
Hey, every girl and boy
Get hip with a little bit of joy

Hey, don't you know it
Don't you feel blue
C'mon down, someone will teach you
C'mon and do that dance
They call the Heebie Jeebies dance
Sweet Mama, Papa's got the Heebie Jeebies dance

3). 15 Cents
Come with me, don't ask no questions
The stuff is good, it ain't gonna hurt ya
Don't be so shy, and don't act so dense
I know where you can get it for 15 cents
What's that, Jimmy? (spoken)

Right up the alley, and down the line
You got the nickel, and I got the dime
We'll have a good time, and that ain't all
'Round the corner at the hole in the wall
Yeah, at the hole in the wall

Now, goodbye booze, I'm through with you
Whoa, goodbye booze, I'm through with you
Last night I told my wife
I'm gonna stay high the rest of my life
So, goodbye booze, I'm through with you, yeah, yeah
So, goodbye booze, I'm through with you
Just gimme some of that good brown rice (spoken)
