Louis Jordan - Louisville Lodge Meeting lyrics

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
