DO THAT THING
As recorded by Rosa Henderson, accompanied by Fletcher Henderson's Club Alabam Orchestra, 1924.

Do that thing; you just take me from home,
Just like the Teapot Dome.
Shake your feet.
Feel that heat.
Make me like it and you won your eats.

Through that pot,(?)
Slap your shoulders till they get red-hot.
You got to worry 'bout a half.(?)
You just my kind of man.
Hot coffee! Get off them grounds!

Go it, kid; you done won you a home,
Just like the Greeks took Rome.
Bend your knees.
You have won with ease.
Take me, please.

Oh, papa, just like a house mop,
You cleaned up; come and get your pork chop.
You can't dance,
But you don't have to when you do that thing.

Oh, papa, you throwed a seven.
Don't choke 'em; bring me eleven.
You can't sing,
But you don't have to when you do that thing.

Go on, Fletcher; do that thing!

Jump, rooster! Here comes your hen.
