Wicked Fives

Down in Louisiana round the dark town dives
There they play a blues they call The Dirty Fives
It's a razzamatazzy jazzy melody
You'll agree wait and see
Every night you'll find the shimmyin sister Kate
Where Miss Minnie Lee the vampire keeps her date
Hear that band, ain't it grand
Listen to The Wicked Fives hot dog

Now slide then shake
Glide then break
Hop now rag
Stop now drag
Do the cut-out you'll want to shout
When they are playin the old Wicked Fives

Hear that old cornet with all the jazz
Played like you want it lots of class
Piano hummin can't get enough
Old drummer drummin strut your stuff
Everybody dance while you got a chance
Just fall right in like hot dog
Now slide

Now slide then shake
Glide then break
Hop now rag
Stop now drag
Do the cut-out you'll want to shout
When they are playin the old Wicked Fives

Now slide then shake
Glide then break
Hop now rag
Stop now drag
Do the cut-out you'll want to shout
When they are playin the old Wicked Fives

The old wicked fives got me feelin alive
Strut till half past ten
Groove it shake it shout it
When the party ends we don't know when
