Lena Wilson — The Wicked Fives Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Down in Louisiana 'round the dark town dives
There they play a blues they call «The Wicked Fives»
It’s a razzamatazzy, jazzy melody
You’ll agree‚ wait and see
Every night you’ll find the shimmyin' sister Kate
Where Miss Minnie Lee‚ the vampire‚ keeps her date
Hear that band, ain’t it grand?
Listen to «The Wicked Fives,» hot dog
Now slide‚ shake
Glide, break
Hop, rag
Stop‚ drag
Do the cut-out, you’ll want to shout
While they are playing the old «Wicked Fives»
Now slide, then you shake
Glide, then you break
Hop, then you rag
Stop, they you drag
You do the cut-out, you’ll want to shout
While they are playing the old «Wicked Fives»
Hear that old cornet with all the jazz
Played like you want it, lots of class
Piano hummin', can’t get enough
Ol' drummer drumming, strut your stuff
Everybody dance while they got a chance
Just fall right in line
Now slide, then you shake
Glide, then break
Hop, then you rag
Stop, then you drag
You do the cut-out, you’ll want to shout
While they are playing the old «Wicked Fives»
