Down at Papa Joe’s
[Verse 1]
Say, there's a place in New Orleans
That serves fried chicken with collard greens
It got fine ladies that'll treat you right
And Papa Joe displays them every night
[Verse 2]
Well, long-haired beauties they step right in
If you can pay the full dollar, they'll be your friend
Everybody there has a powerful time
Down at Papa Joe's
[Clarinet Solo]
*Vocalizations*
[Verse 3]
Papa Joe's got a swingin' band
You can rock 'n' roll to Dixieland
The customers know it's the place to go
Down at Papa Joe's
[Violin Solo]
*Vocalizations*
[Verse 4]
A little waitress comes to sit you down
She's got the best of all the legs in town
There's a welcome sign hangin' on the door
So, don't you be afraid to ask for more
[Verse 5]
Now, the only time Joe close at night
When the police sergeant turns out the light
They get a little mad but they don't fight
Down at Papa Joe's
[Instrumental Break]
*Vocalizations*
[Verse 6]
It's thicker than fleas on a monkey's back
But the folks down there, they like it like that
Live it up, and they all come back
Down at Papa Joe's
