Well on the outskirts of town there's a little night spot Dan dropped in about five o'clock Pulled off his coat said the night is short He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quart
Chorus An' hollered, rave on children I'm with ya Rave on cats, he cried It's almost dawn and the cops are gone And let's all get dixie fried
Now Dan got happy and he started ravin' He jerked out his razor , but he wasn't shavin' And all the cats knew to jump and hop 'Cause he was born an' raised in a butcher shop
Chorus He hollered, rave on children I'm with ya Rave on cats, he cried It's almost dawn and the cops are gone And let's all get dixie fried
SOLO Verse 3 The cops heard Dan when he started to shout They all ran in to see what it was about And I heard him holler when they led him away He turned his head and this is what he had to say
Chorus He hollered, rave on children I'm with ya Rave on cats, he cried It's almost dawn and the cops are gone And let's all get dixie fried Get fried now!
SOLO Verse 4 Now Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw He let us all know he wasn't scared of the law And through the black crossed bars he tossed a note to his dear Said it ain't my fault hon, that I'm in here
Chorus But hollered, rave on children I'm with ya Rave on cats, he cried it's almost dawn and the cops ain't gone And I've been dixie fried
