Lyrics
Hey, hey-hey Junior
Hey mehn who is that little lad walking down the street
Hey- Bones (who's that) hey, hey-hey Bones (it's Bones)
Hey what are you doing back in town mehn
What?, mehn I didn't even know what city I was in (ooh)
Where is that guy?
Dutch took 'em on the slow train to Peking on La Brea Avenue
To find the Stax and Sun
They was reaching to get to
They was a rapping the flat scat
Diamond dialectos of points and taps
Between the chicken and the back
They drew themselves a be-bop midnight map
They said "do you got a map the next joint?"
"Do you got a map the next joint?"
Pick it up on the night train
Down on the corner of rhythm and blues
Where I have met all of my boys since back in '52
Bringing 'em Stax and Sun
'Cause I think that Cleveland forgot and Memphis forgot
Where they were coming from
Do ya like it? Do ya like it like that? (yeah)
Do you like rapping the fat scat?
I was down the street mehn
I think that something went wrong
Shaking that thing the way I do
A police man said girl you can't walk like that
And my boyfriend said
I got the boggy boggy in my socks, where else?
Ahh please don't make the little girl stop
Oh you dirty-
What you say to me
Woody and Dutch dance in the cell of 14
Like a pill they do it all night
Spectators, white-walls, find and greased back
Every Saturday night
Leaning in the scenery picking up the kids
At the next door neighbors'
And I know what you did
I got a room you can stay in
If you promise you won't make so much noise
No I won't
Let me see you promise that baby
No I don't, oh no problem
Ladies and Gentle it's been a pleasure
Being here in your wonderful cities (thank you)
Get those things off my-
Writer(s): Rickie Jones, David Kalish
