Down The Road A Piece by Will Bradley Orchestra Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1940

[Intro: Speaker 1, Speaker 2]
Boy, where’s you goin’? I seen you goin’ down the street the other night
Oh, I weren’t goin’ nowhere, I been where I’s goin’
That’s all right; I didn’t see you till you was plumb out of sight
Man I’d sure like to latch onto some of that boogie woogie tonight
You need some-a that fat boogie woogie
That’s what I need
That’s what I need, too”

[Verse 1]
If you wanna hear some boogie, then I know the place
It's just an old piano and a knocked out bass
The drummer man's a guy they call Eight Beat Mac
You remember Doc and old "Beat Me Daddy" Slack
Man, it's better than chicken fried in bacon grease
Come along with me boys, just down the road a piece
Well, let’s you and I walk on down the road a piece
I’m walkin, get going. I’m walkin’, I'm right behind

[Piano & Bass solos]
Look out there, boy, don’t knock into that cow
Man, look out where you’re steppin’, that ain’t second base
*Whistling*
[Verse 2]
Now there's a place you really get your kicks
It's open every night from about twelve to six
If you want to boogie woogie then you'll get your fill
It will put the eight beats to you like an old steam drill
Come on with me boys, 'fore they lose their lease
It's just down the road, down the road a piece

[Outro: Piano solo]
