Amos Milburn - Chicken Shack Boogie lyrics

version one Hello cat I just got back I'm looking for that place they call the Chicken Shack They say it's fine as wine And it's really all a ball No windows no doors It's just a hole in the wall Did you say it was located down by the creek Where you can get a whole gob of good things to eat All good portions of chicken once more is a cinch You can even get the last part that went over the fence They say it's the place where all the bad cats meet You'd better be mighty careful where you take a seat There's a place where the lights coming through the wall You'd better be mighty careful, let's have a ball Come on all you cats and take a drink from my pack Cause the party's ready to start down at the chicken shack version two Hello everybody this cat is back, Looking for a place called the Chicken Shack They only serve warm beer rice and beans But it feels just like it's down in New Orleans Brace yourself baby I'm here to attack Down at the place called the Chicken Schack The girls at that place are mighty fine But stay off sadie green cause that girl is mine The moonlight shines through the holes in the wall Everybody there is having a ball They don't care that the place looks like a wreck Down at the place called the Chicken Shack I wanna rip it, rock it, really bop it Flip it, flop it, David Crocket Just like Roy Montrell everytime he hears that mellow saxophone The good old rockin' days will never come back Except down at the place called the Chicken Shack The good old rockin days will never come back Except down at the place called the Chicken Shack
