Woody And Dutch On The Slow Train To Peking lyrics

Rickie Lee Jones
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
             Dutch took 'em on the slow train to Peking on La Brea Avenue
             To find the Stax and Sun
             They were reaching to get to
             They was a rapping the flat scat
             Diamond dialectos of points and taps
             Between the chicken and the back
             They drew themselves a be-bop
             Midnight map
             They said "do you got a map the next joint?"
             "Do you got a map the next joint?"
             Pick it up on the night train
             Down on the corner of rhythm and blues
             Where I have met all of my boys since
             Back in '52
             Bringing 'em Stax and Sun
             Cuz I think that Cleveland forgot
             And Memphis forgot
             Where they were coming from
             Do ya like it? Do ya like it like that?
             Do you like rapping the fat scat?
             Woody and Dutch dance in the cell of fourteen
             Like a pill they do it all night
             Spectators,
             White-walls, find and greased back
             Every Saturday night
             Leaning in the scenery
             Picking up the kids
             At the next door neighbors'
             "Yeah I know what you did
             Yeah I got a room you can stay in
             If you promise you won't make so much noise"
             "No I won't"
             "No I don't!"
