Good morning, people
Just got back from cocktail land
Good morning, people
Just got back from cocktail land
When I find my little woman
Ooo-well, we gonna raise some cocktail sand

When I got up this mornin'
Went down in old alley can
I got up this mornin'
Went down in old alley can
And the womens they was hollerin'
Hoo-well, 'Here come that little cocktail man'

They cry, 'Cocktails for two'
Now that is all it can be
Cryin', 'Cocktails for two'
Baby that's all it can be
Now if you got plenty of cocktail
Please save a 'tall' for me

(piano)

I'm a good cocktail monsieur
Well, you know I start it all with a feather
Um-hm, babe said I start it off with a feather
Now won't you come here little mama
Please now let's serve our cocktails together

Well now, it ain't no trouble
When I watch your crowd the best I can
I say, I ain't no trouble
I will watch your crowd the best I can
But now when it come to missing cocktails
Hoo-well, here's a little cocktail man.
