The "G" Man Got the "T" Man
I stopped by Joe's the other night
And all of the cats looked beat
And oh what sounded me to say
Sheesh! Are you all reet?
Now I never really do the reason
That the cats all looked so square
But now I'm hip and I dig it
Because the jive is in the air, boy!
Cats can't find their jive at night
So now they hurry home
Coz that G man's got the T man and gone
They've got to drink their lush and stagger
Even though they know it's wrong
Coz the G man's got the T man and gone
Boy one night when the joint was jumping
And a knock came at the door
In came a man with shiny bag
And a brand new 44
They've arrested my connection
And I can't find anymore
Coz the G man's got the T man and gone
Boy! They've arrested my connection
So I can't find anymore
Coz the G man's
Got the T man
And he's hip now because he has the T man
All the jive is gone!
And all of the cats looked beat
And oh what sounded me to say
Sheesh! Are you all reet?
Now I never really do the reason
That the cats all looked so square
But now I'm hip and I dig it
Because the jive is in the air, boy!
Cats can't find their jive at night
So now they hurry home
Coz that G man's got the T man and gone
They've got to drink their lush and stagger
Even though they know it's wrong
Coz the G man's got the T man and gone
Boy one night when the joint was jumping
And a knock came at the door
In came a man with shiny bag
And a brand new 44
They've arrested my connection
And I can't find anymore
Coz the G man's got the T man and gone
Boy! They've arrested my connection
So I can't find anymore
Coz the G man's
Got the T man
And he's hip now because he has the T man
All the jive is gone!
