Went down to Albert's Alley |
|
Pick up on me a Collins mix |
|
Went to the bar an' ordered me a drink |
|
Tried to relax myself |
|
Looked around and saw two soul sisters |
|
They were sippin' sodas |
|
And the other look caught their companions |
|
On the dance floor |
|
They were doin' the Collin's shuffle |
|
Pretty soon a cute little number |
|
Came and asked me to do the stomp polka |
|
I told her I couldn't do the stomp polka |
|
I could show her how to do the Sissy |
|
We were on the dance floor |
|
And I was doin' my thing |
|
After a while out of nowhere |
|
Up walks her boyfriend |
|
While she's standin' there doin' the shivers and shake |
|
He gave me a look that was very icy blue |
|
And believe me, he made me thaw out! |
|
I said to myself, "Albert, don't lose your cool" |
|
By that time I'd gotten hungry |
|
'Cause I smelled someone cookin' catfish |
|
Oughta be something along, with some greens |
|
Told him definitely, I didn't want no leftovers! |
|
The cook took so long about fixin' my grub |
|
I had to go see what was takin' him so long |
|
He was back there jivin' |
|
I had to tell him to get it together |
|
He asked me, "Can't you wait?" |
|
Made me mad, I said, "No man, I ain't got time, |
|
I've got to keep on pushin', |
|
I got to make it down the soul road, |
|
Got to go, do some turnin' on" |
|
Don't want person, give me no dyin' food |
|
So I'm leavin' town, goin' home |
|
I've got homesick anyway |
|
I'm leavin' this place before I freeze |
|
Goin' home to defrost |
|
Ain't gonna have me lookin' like a snow cone |
|
I don't know, he's gettin' rough! |
