[Verse 1]
Up in Harlem every Saturday night
When the highbrows get together, it's just too right
They all congregate at an all night hop
And what they do is ooh-bop-bee-dop
Old Hannah Brown from way 'cross town
Gets full of coin and starts breaking 'em down
And at the break of day
You can hear old Hannah say
[Chorus]
Give me a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me again, I don't care
I feel just like I wanna shout
Give the piano player a drink because he's bringing me down
[Verse 2]
He's got rhythm, yeah, when he stomps his feet
He sends me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
We're gonna be arrested when the wagon comes
[Chorus]
Give me a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me 'cause I don't care
[Verse 3]
I want a reefer
And a gang of gin
Send me daddy, move right in
I feel just like I wanna shout
Give the piano player a drink because he's knocking me out
[Verse 4]
He's got rhythm, yeah, when he stomps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
Do the huckabuck until the rising sun
[Outro]
Give me a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Move me 'cause I'm in my sin
Give me a pigfoot, pigfoot
And a bottle of beer
