I thought I heard somebody say
He's dirty, he's nasty, take him away
He's dirty, he's nasty, take him away
That's what I heard them say

I thought I heard Judge Fogerty say
Thirty days in the jailhouse, take him away
spoken: Thirty days in the jailhouse, give him a new broom to sweep
                                        with : take him away
That's what I heard him say

I thought I heard Frankie Dusen shout
Give me the money, baby, I got to beat out
Give me the money, honey, I got to beat out
That's what I heard him shout

I thought I heard Buddy Bolden shout
Open up that window let that bad air out
Open up that window let that bad air out
Tha's what I heard him shout


From the singing of Little Brother Montgomery
