I been to social functions down around Mobil
Attended them in Richmond where they rock for real
I fell in on a barbecue in Birmingham
I went in like a lion, and came out like a lamb
I messed around in Memphis, thought it was an inn
Boy what a session, thought I'm never in
But I can tell you now that I've never lived
Until that fine lodge meeting down in Louisville
Man it was crazy, sure was crazy
They were balling and brawling from Thursday night to Friday morn'
It was crazy, sure was crazy
They were balling and brawling from Thursday night to Friday morn'
The meeting of the owner of the "Western Star"
Was moving in the groove, at the refreshment bar
The brotherhood and me was getting on first rate
When in walked the most exalted potentate
He said: Now brothers, mind your manners, be polite
The system membership is dropping in tonight
Just then the chicks arrived, and Jack derailed Sam Hill
At the good lodge meeting down in Louisville
Man it was crazy, sure was crazy
They were balling and brawling from Thursday night to Friday morn'
It was crazy, sure was crazy
They were balling and brawling from Thursday night to Friday morn'
The room began a jumpin' like a Pogo stick
I started promoting me real large chin
I never jived a gal so fine in all my life
When a big ba** voice hollered: Put her down boy, that's my wife
The most exalted potentate was mighty burned
He kicked me in my belly, while my back was turned
He pulled the leg right off the most exalted throne
And beating my head like a xylophone
Man it was crazy, sure was crazy
They were balling and brawling from Thursday night to Friday morn'
It was crazy, sure was crazy
They were balling and brawling from Thursday night to Friday morn'
The friendly brothers acted most unbrotherly
Fists began to fly, and mainly right at me
The sisters started pulling hair, with great concern
And no one made a motion to adjourn
I made myself an exit through a window pane
My feet was doing sixty, when I hopped that train
The way I left him cast, they must be fighting still
At the good lodge meeting down in Louisville
Man it was crazy, sure was crazy
They were balling and brawling from Thursday night to Friday morn'
It was crazy, sure was crazy
I ain't never had so much fun before
But Jack, I ain't gonna do that no more
I hear they're fighting still
At the good lodge meeting down in Louisville
