Abbey Lincoln - Gimme A Pigfoot Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Up in Harlem every Saturday night
Where the highbrows get together it's just too tight
They all congregate at an all night hop
And what they do is ooh, bop dee dah
Old Hannah Brown from way across town
Gets full of corn and starts bringin' 'em down
And at the break of day
You can hear old Hannah say

[Verse 2]
Give me a pig foot and a bottle of beer
Send me, gate, I don't care
I feel just like I wanna clown
Give the piano player a drink because he's bringin' me down
He's gotta rhythm when he stomps his feet
He sends me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
We're gonna be arrested when the wagon comes
Give me a pig foot and a bottle of beer
Send me, daddy, I don't care

[Verse 3]
Give me a pig foot and a bottle of gin
Send me, darling, move right in
I feel just like I'm gonna shout
Give the piano player a drink because he's knocking me out
He's got rhythm (Hoo) when he stomps his feet
He sends me right off to sleep
Pack all your razors and your guns
And do the hucklebuck until the morning sun
Give me a pig foot and a bottle of gin
Send me, daddy, move right in
[Tenor Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 3]
Give me a pig foot and a bottle of gin
Send me, daddy, move right in
I feel just like I'm gonna shout
Give the piano player a drink because he's knocking me out
He's got rhythm when he stomps his feet
He sends me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
Do the hucklebuck until the rising sun
Give me a pig foot and a bottle of gin
Move me, daddy, move right in
Move in, daddy, move right in

[Outro]
I want a pig foot and a bottle of gin
Send me, daddy, move right in
