I got a date on my estate down in hades Call my chariot so I can go And should the moocher walk in Just tell her you've been talkin' To the ghost of smokey joe Yes, I remember minnie She's that frail I never found You mean to say that minnie Quit kickin' the gong around? I got a date on my estate down in hades Call my chariot so I can go And should the moocher walk in Just tell her you've been talkin' To the ghost of smokey joe
