Jason Collett - Vanderpool Vanderpool lyrics

Vanderpool, Vanderpool Professor of the piano Got himself a wavy 'do Vanderpool, Vanderpool From the ugly Madam's gilded room The ivories tinkle out a merry tune While out in the street the Reverend's gloom Ain't saving nobody Big Jim, Colossimo Kissing his fist before rolling the bones Crying, Come on, seven, don't you know Baby needs a new pair of shoes Vanderpool, Vanderpool, A diamond ring on every finger Well the papers a**umed he never stepped into the room Without his velvet slippers One-legged pimps along the avenue All the preening dandies Hinky-Dink, Cannon Bathhouse, John Caldwin and Crane Dollar Hold houses on the levy Taking a cut, eight cents of every dollar With a kickback to the Mayor And the derelict lords and the first world ivorymen Faces livelier than a bird in a cage Last night I deigned from Monkey-Face Charlie Gankle's place You know that Morgan Street Joan? Well, she stuck a hairpin into a gentleman's stomach Vanderpool, Vanderpool Bouncing on his piano stool Vanderpool, Vanderpool You're lawless for legionnaires' peccadilloes Kitty Adams on Satan's mind State Street, 1896 Claimed to be related to the Raven Poet Well, at least that's what the Madam says High jinks on election day All the slap-shoulder bonhomie Jerusalem Slim took the very last train And left all the hustlers and the hoodlums fast asleep Vanderpool, Vanderpool Tossing back his wavy 'do Kicking over his piano stool Screaming, Jesus has left Chicago Vanderpool, Vanderpool Vanderpool, Vanderpool Vanderpool, Vanderpool Vanderpool, Vanderpool Vanderpool, Vanderpool Vanderpool, Vanderpool
