The Honeydripper
Boy
the honeydripper
he's a killer
the honeydripper
salt · sweet · heart · beat
a solid old cat
really
a mellow hepcat
And he jumps
And he swears
And he rips
And he rides
Then he shifts
And jumps
He's high
Oh my
To · be · that · cat · and · jump · for · joy
You dig that lick
You dig that beat
You get knocked out
Right off your feet
One, two, three, four, five, six, so rip it
You take it away
He's a killer
The honeydriller
