[Chorus:]
Feet up, pat him on the po-po Let's hear him laugh Ha-ha! Feet up, pat him on the po-po Let's hear him laugh Ain't seen a babe like this before He's so good-looking, gonna have some more Feet up, pat him on the po-po Let's hear him laugh Ha- ha now I've been known to gamble, take a little drink Then there's the night I had a fight and landed in the clink But now my rooting tooting days are done Gotta be the man that he thinks I am 'cause I love my son Ha ha I knew a lot of women when I was on the go They'd stand in line to drink my wine and help me spend my dough But my wife Rosie ain't that kind Got her to thank for a buck in the bank 'n' this kid of mine I'm gonna do some bragging up and down the town I'm walking into joints anew and passing news around That me and Rosie got a son Though he's just been born, gonna buy him a horn, a baseball, and drum He he's as tiny as a peanut yet I do declare Some day he'll look at me and say, "Hey, how you doing down there?" He'll be good-hearted like his Ma But I bet he'll be a lady-killer just like his Pa |

(She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt)
(She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt) She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes And love in her heart for me I work in a London bank, respectable position From nine to three they serve you tea But ruin your disposition Each night of music calls, rather lost I seem And once a pearl of a native girl came smilin' right at me She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes And love in her heart for me Goodbye to the London bank, I started in a-sailin' The fourteenth day from Mandalay I spied her from the railin' She knew I was on my way, waited, and was true She said "You son of an Englishman, I've dreamed each night of you" She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes And love in her heart for me I went to her Ma and Pa and said I loved her only And they both said we could be wed, oh, what a ceremony An elephant brought her in, placed her by my side While six baboons got out bassoons and played "Here Comes the Bride" I'm back here in London town and, though it may sound silly She's here with me and you should see us walk down Picadilly The boys at the London bank kinda hold their breath She sits with me and sips her tea which tickles them to death She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes And love (and love) in her heart (in her heart) for me |

Well, I never felt more like singin' the blues
'Cause I never thought that I'd ever lose Your love dear, why'd you do me this way? Well, I never felt more like cryin' all night 'cause everythin's wrong, and nothin' ain't right Without you, you got me singin' the blues. The moon and stars no longer shine The dream is gone I thought was mine There's nothin' left for me to do But cry-why-why-why over you (cry over you) Well, I never felt more like runnin' away But why should I go 'cause I couldn't stay Without you, you got me singin' the blues.
