Down the Road a Piece
Now if you want to hear some boogie, then I know the place
There's just an old piano and a knocked out bass
The drummer man's a kind they call Eight Beat Mac
Now you remember Sam and ol' Spider Finger Jack
Man, it's better than chicken fried in bacon grease
It's just down the road, down the road a piece
That's a place you really get your kicks
It's open ev'ry night, from 'bout twelve to six
If you want to boogie woogie, then you'll get your fill
'Cause man, they'll put it to ya like an ol' steam drill
Come along with me before they loose their lease
A little further down the road a piece
Doo doo, doo doot
Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doot
Doo doo doo doot
Dooyooyooyoo doo dootn doo doo
You get a little touch of ol' Basin Street
And
every now and then a Kansas City beat
A while later on, as the night goes by
You may get to thinkin' that you're back in Chi
Keeps on goin' along 'bout dawn
You're all knocked out, and your top is gone
Down the road, down the road a piece
It's just down the road, down the road a piece
No cover charge, but to get a smile
Drop some change in the kitty every once in a while
Love those cats, may they drive in peace
A little further down the road a piece
There's just an old piano and a knocked out bass
The drummer man's a kind they call Eight Beat Mac
Now you remember Sam and ol' Spider Finger Jack
Man, it's better than chicken fried in bacon grease
It's just down the road, down the road a piece
That's a place you really get your kicks
It's open ev'ry night, from 'bout twelve to six
If you want to boogie woogie, then you'll get your fill
'Cause man, they'll put it to ya like an ol' steam drill
Come along with me before they loose their lease
A little further down the road a piece
Doo doo, doo doot
Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doot
Doo doo doo doot
Dooyooyooyoo doo dootn doo doo
You get a little touch of ol' Basin Street
And
every now and then a Kansas City beat
A while later on, as the night goes by
You may get to thinkin' that you're back in Chi
Keeps on goin' along 'bout dawn
You're all knocked out, and your top is gone
Down the road, down the road a piece
It's just down the road, down the road a piece
No cover charge, but to get a smile
Drop some change in the kitty every once in a while
Love those cats, may they drive in peace
A little further down the road a piece
