Up in Harlem every Saturday night   Where the highbrows get together   It's just too right, they all congregate and all night hop   And what they do is ooh boppa dap      Ole Hammer Brown from way across town   Gets full of corn and starts   Bringing them down and at the break of day   You can hear ole Hammer say      Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer   Send me a gate, I don't care   Feel just like I wanna clown   Give the piano player a drink      Because he's bringing me down   He's got rhythm, yeah, when he stomps his feet   He sends me right off to sleep   Check all your razors and all your guns      We're gonna be arrested when the wagon comes   Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer   Send me 'cause I don't care      I want a pigfoot and a bottle of gin   Send me daddy, move right in   I feel just like I wanna shout   Give the piano player a drink      Because he's knocking me out   He's got rhythm when he stomps his feet   He moves me right off to sleep   Check all your razors and your guns      Do the hucklebuckle to the rising sun   Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of gin   Move me 'cause I'm in my sin   Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
