Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Say, there's a place in New Orleans,

 that serves fried chicken with turnip greens.

Crawfish bisque that treats you right,

 and Papa Joe plays there every night.

A little dark haired cutie says, 'Step right in,'

 and you can bet a whole dollar she'd be your friend.

Everybody there has a comical time..down at Papa Joe's.

(INTERLUDE:SAX:)

Papa Joe's got a swinging band,

 you can rock and roll to Dixieland.

 The customers know it's the place to go..

 down at Papa Joe's.

(INTERLUDE:PIANO:)

A little waitress comes to set you down,

 she's got the best frog legs in town.

 There's a welcome sign hanging on the door,

 so don't you be afraid to ask for more.

Now the only time Joe closes at night, is when

the po-lice comes and turns out the light.

 They get a little mad but they don't fight..

 down at Papa Joe's.

(INTERLUDE:HORN SECTION:)

It's thicker than fleas on a monkey's back,

 but the folks down there, they like it like that.

 They live it up and they all come back..

 down at Papa Joe's.

(OUTRO:PIANO:)

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
