Andrew Brown, Harry White, Doc Cheatham, Walter Thomas, Eddie Barefield - Kickin' the Gong Around

Текст песни

It was down in Chinatown
All the cokies laid around
Some were high and some were mighty low;
There were millions on the floor
When a knock came on the door
And there stood old Smokey Joe
He was sweatin', cold and pale
He was lookin' for his frail
He was broke and all his junk ran out;
Nobody made a sound
As he stood and looked around
And then you hear old Smoky shout:
Tell me where is Minnie?
(Tell me where is Minnie)
My poor Minnie
(Your poor Minnie)
Has she been here
Kicking the gong around?
If you don’t know Minnie
(If you don’t know Minnie)
She’s tall and skinny
(She's tall and skinny)
She gets her pleasure
Kicking the gong around
Just tell her Smokey Joe
Was here and had to go
And as he departed
(As he departed)
The curtains parted
(The curtains parted)
And there stood Minnie
Kicking the gong around
You just tell her Smokey Joe
Was here and had to go
And as he departed
(As he departed)
The curtains parted
(The curtains parted)
And there stood Minnie
Kicking the gong around
