Up in Harlem
every saturday night
Were the highbrows
get together, just to write
They all congregate at
an allnite hack
What they do is ooh papa dah
Ol' Hannah Brown, way down town
Gets full of corn
and starts brining 'em down
And at the break of day
You can hear ol' Hannah say
Gimme a pigfoot
and a bottle of beer
Send me daddy, move right down
I feel just like I wanna clown
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's bringing me down
He's got rhythm,
when he stomps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors
and your guns
We're gonna be arrested when
the wagon comes Gimme a pigfoot
and a bottle of beer
Send me 'cause I don't care
Send me 'cause I don't care
<Interlude>
Gimme a pigfoot
and a bottle of beer
Send me 'cause I don't care
Feel just like I wanna shop
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's knocking me out
He's got rhythm
when he stomps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors
and your guns
We're gonna do the huckabuck
until the rising sun
Gimme a pigfoot
and a bottle of gin
Send me 'cause I don't care
Send me 'cause I don't care
