I thought I heard Buddy Bolden shout
Open up that window, and let the foul air out
Open up that window, and let the foul air out
Thought I heard him shout
I thought I heard Frankie Dusen shout
Funky bu*t funky bu*t, take it away
Way down in the alley, take him away
I thought I heard Frankie Dusen shout
I thought I heard Judge Fogarty shout
Thirty days in the market, take him away
Give him a good broom to sweep with, take him away
I thought I heard Judge Fogarty say
I thought I heard Frankie Dusen shout
Give me that money gal I'm gonna beat it out
Give me that money like I splined you, I'm gonna beat it out
I thought I heard Frankie Dusen shout
I though I heard old King Arthur
Say hey-hey, oh he's gone away
Everybody's old and grey
