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 cross 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

I want a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Send me daddy, move right in
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
Move me `cause I don`t care
I want a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
