Woody & Dutch on the Slow Train to Peking
Dutch took 'em on the slow train to Peking on La Brea Avenue
To find the Stax & Sun
They were reaching to get to
They was a rapping the flat scat
Diamond dialectos of points & taps
Between the chicken & the back
They drew themselves a be-bop
Midnight map
They said 'do you got a map the next joint?'
'Do you got a map the next joint?'
Pick it up on the night train
Down on the corner of rhythm & blues
Where I have met all of my boys since
Back in '52
Bringing 'em Stax & Sun
Cuz I think that Cleveland forgot
And Memphis forgot
Where they were coming from
Do ya like it? Do ya like it like that?
Do you like rapping the fat scat?
Woody & Dutch dance in the cell of fourteen
Like a pill they do it all night
Spectators,
White-walls, find & greased back
Every Saturday night
Leaning in the scenery
Picking up the kids
At the next door neighbors'
'Yeah I know what you did
Yeah I got a room you can stay in
If you promise you won't make so much noise'
'No I won't'
'No I don't!'
