who's that whisperin' in the trees
it's two sailors and they're on leave
pipes and chains and swingin' hands
who's your daddy? yes i am
fat cat came to play
now he can't run fast enough
you had best stay away
when the pushers come to shove
zoot suit riot
throw back a bottle of beer
zoot suit riot
pull a comb through your coal black hair
a whipped up jitterbuggin' brown eyed man
a stray cat frontin' up an eight-piece band
cut me sammy and you'll understand
in my veins hot music ran
you got me in a sway
and i want to swing you done
now you sailors know
where your women come for love
you're in a zoot suit riot |
