Listen everybody : from near and far
You want to know : just who we are
Now if you like : the way we play
Listen boy : we'll try to stay
We'll make you loose : we'll make you tight
Make you shake it : till broad daylight
I would never do brag : never do boast
Played this tune : from coast to coast
Now if you like this tune : think it's fine
Set right down : and drop a line
Sometime : we're down your way
We'll drop in : and spend the day
Now some want to know : just what you got
Got good okra man : serve it hot
Now we ain't good‑looking : and we don't dress fine
The way we whip it : it's a hanging crime
If you see me stealing : don't tell on me
Just stealing : back to my used‑to‑be
We never have one gal : at a time
Always have : seven eight or nine
