Fats Waller — Abercrombie Had A Zombie lyrics

Lyrics

Abercrombie was so meek and quiet
Abercrombie was the tearoom type
Oh, you’d never think he’d start a riot
Then Abercrombie had a zombie
Abercrombie never stole a hansom
Abercrombie never did a bump
Never thought of crawling through a transom
Then Abercrombie had a zombie
He never passed a stop. He never sassed a cop
He never drove a car into the Astor bar
He didn’t try to wade in the Aquacade
He was just an icky, I’m afraid
But like that other famous sinner
Abercrombie met his Waterloo
He’s the man who never came to dinner
Because Abercrombie had a zombie—or was it two?
He never passed a stop; he never sassed a cop
He never drove a car into the Astor bar
He never tried to wade in the Aquacade
Just an icky, I’m afraid
But like that other famous sinner
Abercrombie met his Waterloo
He’s the man who didn’t come to dinner
'cause Abercrombie had a zombie—or was it two—or was it three or four—or
five—or six?
