Woody And Dutch On The Slow Train To Peking
Track A4
[Intro, spoken]
Hey, hey hey Junior!
Man, who does that look like walkin' down the street?
Hey, hey [?]
Hey, hey hey Bones! Ey, what're you doin' back in town, man?
Man, I didn't even know what city I was in!
*Laughter*
Crazy that guy!
"I didn't even know what city I was in," heh!
[Verse 1]
Dutch took 'em on the slow train to Peking
On La Brea Avenue
To find the Stax and Sun
That they was reachin' to get to
They were a-rappin the fat scat
Diamond dialectos of points and taps
Between the chicken in the back
And they drew themselves a bebop midnight map
They said "Do you got a map to the next joint?"
"Do you got a map to the next joint?"
[Verse 2]
Pick it up on the night train
Down on the corner of rhythm and blues
Where I have met all o' my boys since back in '52
Bringing 'em Stax and Sun
'Cause I think that Cleveland forgot
And Memphis forgot
Where they were comin' from
Do ya like it, do ya like it like that?
Do you like rappin' the fat scat?
[Scatting]
[Interlude, spoken]
I was walkin' down the street in my '57 Lincoln, white and brown, shakin' that thing the way I do, and policeman said, "Girl you can't walk like that," and my boyfriend said...
I got the boogie, woogie, in my socks!
(Where else?)
Ah, please don't make the little girl stop!
(Heh heh heh heh)
[Bass solo]
[Scatting]
[Verse 3]
Woody and Dutch dance the cell of fourteen
Like a pill, they do it all night
The spectators, whitewalls, fins and greased back
Every Saturday night
Leanin' the scenery, pickin' up the kids
At the next door neighbours', and I know what you did, yeah
Well I got a room you can prob'ly stay in
If you promise you won't make too much noise...
Ah well, no I won't!
Ah, lemme see you promise that, baby
No I don't!
Hah, aw, no problem!
[Scatting]
