30 Oct 14 - 07:02 PM (#3673151) Subject: Lyr Add: THE GHOST OF SMOKEY JOE (Koehler/Bloom) From: Jim Dixon I've been kind of obsessed with songs about ghosts today, the day before Halloween, so I thought I'd look up these lyrics: THE GHOST OF SMOKEY JOE Words by Ted Koehler; music by Rube Bloom. Premiered in the Cotton Club Parade, World's Fair Edition, 1939. As recorded by Cab Calloway Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi!) Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!) You didn't see me climb through the window. Nobody had to open that door. I just climbed right through the wall, And I want you, one and all, To stand aside and let me have the floor. Take a look; I'm not such a stranger. Here's a face you cokeys all ought to know. You can tell me I'm not wanted, But the joint will still be haunted, 'Cause I'm the ghost of Smokey Joe. Remember when I kicked the bucket In my mansion up on Striver's Row? When they came and took me off in A zillion-dollar coffin, 'Cause I'm the ghost of Smokey Joe. Tell me, do you remember Minnie? (Yeah, we remember Minnie.) That frail I never found. (You'll never recognize your Minnie.) You mean to say that Minnie Quit kickin' the gong around? I've got a date on my estate down in Hades. Call my chariot so I can go, And should the Moocher walk in, Just tell her you've been talkin' To the ghost of Smokey Joe. [Tacit line] Yes, I remember Minnie. She's that frail I never found. [Tacit line] You mean to say that Minnie Quit kickin' the gong around? I've got a date on my estate down in Hades. Call my chariot so I can go, And should the Moocher walk in, Just tell her you've been talkin' To the ghost of Smokey— [Scat lines] —Joe! |
