[Verse 1] 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-dop" Ole Hanna Brown from way 'cross town Gets full of corn and starts bringing 'em down And at the break of day You can hear old Hanna say [Verse 2] "Give me a pigfoot 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 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 Give me a pigfoot and a bottle of beer Send me 'cause I don't care [Verse 3] I want a pigfoot and a bottle of gin Send me, daddy, move right in I feel just like I wanna 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 Give me a pigfoot and a bottle of gin Move me, 'cause I'm in my sin [Outro] Give me a pigfoot And a bottle of beer
