Up in Harlem every Saturday night Where the highbrows get together It's just too right They all congregate and all night hop And what they do is Ooh boppa da
Old Hanna Brown from way across town Gets full of corn and starts Bringing them down And at the break of day You can hear old Hanna say
Gimme me a pig foot and a bottle of beer Send me a gate I don't care I feel just like I want to clown Give the piano player a drink Because he's bringing me down
He's got rhythm yeah, when he stomps his feet He sends me right off to sleep Cheek all your razors and your guns We're gonna be arrested when the wagon comes
Gimme a pig foot and a bottle of beer Send me cause I don't care I want a pig foot and a bottle of gin Send me Daddy move right in
I feel just like I want to shout 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 Do the Hucklebuck until the rising sun Gimme a pig foot and a bottle of gin Move me, 'cause I'm in my sin Gimme a pig foot and a bottle of beer
