Cab Calloway - Kickin' the Gong Around lyrics

It was down in Chinatown All the cokies laid around Some were high and some were mighty low There were millions on the floor When a knock came on the door And there stood old Smoky Joe He was sweatin', cold and pale He was lookin' for his frail He was broke and all his junk ran out Nobody made a sound As he stood and looked around And then you hear old Smoky shout Saying, "Tell me where is Minnie? My poor Minnie! Has she been here Kicking the gong around?" "If you don't know Minnie She's tall and skinny She gets her pleasure Kicking the gong around!" "Just tell her Smoky Joe Was here and had to go" And as he departed The curtains parted And there stood Minnie Kicking the gong around!
