2) Steppin' Out Under the Moon
Hey Ho Hombre Poco
Spinin' Spanish Creole
And singing Bayou Gris Gris
In the summer Steamin' Hot;
Keep your wide eyes open
When I come by a'callin'
‘Cause tonight we gonna cake-walk
through the town that care forgot!
(Chorus)
Steppin' Out under the Moon
Down on the Fountainbleau
Madam Marie and the Baron and Me
We goin' Steppin' out under the Moon
2.
Looka dat Fancy Yankee
Struttin' on down BurGUNdy
Come a ‘by my house, and a’drink my wine,
and then presume to judge me
But the breadth of me is bigger
Then all souls put together
And you heap hot coals up on yo' head
when you speak ill about me.
3.
And Disciples of Desire
Sing Sacred songs of pleasure
As rev'lers stray into the light
and into the dark ag'in; (dark aw-gin)
And the fate of flesh and bone
And the Fortune of the Soul
Wanders undecided through the
streets of New Orleans
(NOO awLINS)
3. Preacher’s got a Brother
Well, in the Gospel Congregation
There’s a Holy Roller preacher
Who looks so fine and handsome
When he speaks the word of God
And when he gets into reelin’
Every mother, dame and maiden
Kinda gets a funny feelin’
like their all tied up in knots
But that preacher man is a righteous soul
He don’t sing and he don’t dance and he don’t mess around.
And if that breaks your heart, there’s a thing that you should know;
Preacher’s got a brother on the Dark Side of town
Chorus:
And I say, “Hallelujah! Preacher’s got a brother,
And I might not get to Heaven, but you know I’m glory bound!”
And I say “Hallelujah! Preacher’s got a brother!
Preachers got a brother on the Dark side of town!”
Now, every Sunday Morning,
In that Gospel Congregation
There’s a sweet young thing who’s smiling
Like she did the night before.
‘Cause when she goes out carousing’
And when she gets into rocking
All that fussin’ and commotion
Feels like praising the lord!
And she loves to hear that Sweet Chariot,”
The choir sings, the chorus rings, “Rock of Ages Cleft for me.”
And if that’s not enough to save your very soul
Preacher’s got a brother who can rock you tenderly!!
10. The Jelly Song
Verse 1
It’s a quarter past dinnertime
and I got me this plan,
To call and place an order
With my Sweet Suzanne!
I’ll tell her, baby you can cook it
Like no other gal can
Lemmie be your ever-lovin’ huggin’
Big Hungry Man!
Chorus
But don’tcha spread that Jelly Too Thin!
Don’tcha spread that Jelly Too Thin!
I know the other fellers
Like to eat at your counter,
But Don’tcha spread that Jelly Too Thin!
But don’tcha spread that Jelly Too Thin!
Don’tcha spread that Jelly Too Thin!
Deliveries are easy
And the skillets hot and greasy,
Don’tcha spread that Jelly Too Thin!
Verse 2
I love her short bread biscuits
And her raspberry jam
I love to lick the shine right off of her
Honey glazed ham
Gimme Coney Island Red Hots!
Fry ‘em up in the pan
And add a heapin’ helpin’ of
My sweet Suzanne!
Chorus
Don’tcha spread that Jelly Too Thin!
Don’tcha spread that Jelly Too Thin!
You got a whole lot o’ goodies
In the downstairs pantry
So don’tcha spread that Jelly Too Thin!
Verse 3
She’s got a big pumpernickel, brother,
That’s no Lie!
And if you don’t wanna eat it,
She’ll find some other guy
‘Cause if she opened up a diner,
They’d be standing in Line,
Shoutin’ hey Suzie, baby, Now,
Oh, My My…
Chorus
Don’tcha spread that Jelly Too Thin!
Don’tcha spread that Jelly Too Thin!
See the butter meltin’
On dat Hot Corn muffin?
Don’tcha spread that Jelly Too Thin!
But don’tcha spread that Jelly Too Thin!
Don’tcha spread that Jelly Too Thin!
I know the other fellers
Like to eat at your counter,
But Don’tcha spread that Jelly Too Thin!
