Big Maceo - Can't You Read - Sözleri

Way back tale

In nineteen hundred and ten

The monkey and the baboon

They came walkin' in



The monkey told the baboon

Let's shoot a game of pool 

The monkey could shoot

But the baboon wadn't no fool 



Next thing came along

Was a little mule

He say, 'You know I'm so mad

I even can't wear no shoes'



Next thing came along

There was Mr. Cat

We ain't gon' have no such-a stuff

Goin' on here like that



Next thing came

Was a little mouse

'Let's all get drunk 

And break up the doggone house'



Can't ya re-ead?

Now, can't ya re-ead?

If ya keep on readin'

I'm bound to put you wise 



(Tampa sings:)



Well, the monkey and the elephant

They went out for a little drive

The elephant hit the monkey

Right square in his eye



The monkey looked up

With a tear in his eye

Said, 'Look-a-here big boy

You oughta get someone yo' size



One a these days

I'm gonna climb yo' tree

Remember big boy

You got to march right under me



When you march under me

You better march careful and fast

I get me limb and break it

Cross yo' ~



Now, can't you re-ead

Now can't you re-ead

If you keep on readin'

I'm bound to put you wise



If anybody jus' happen to ask'd you

Where the waitin' gonna be?

Tell him right down there on

Hazen Street



Go down there 

Just about the end of the week

You can get most anything

That you care to eat



If you don't like shrimp

Just na-ame yo' dish

They will even sell you

Some a-that ol' filtie fish



Now, can't you re-ead?

Now, can't you re-ead?

Now, if you keep on readin'

Mama, I'm bound to put you wise



'Yeah, play it Mr. Maceo'



(piano, guitar)  



Well, fifteen cents

You know that's reg'lar price

If you got two bits

They will even serve you twice



Can't you re-ead?

Now, can't you re-read?

If you keep on readin'

I'm bound to put you wise.
