Down At Papa Joe's (Jerry Dean Smith)


1. Say, there's a place in New Orleans
That serves fried chicken with corn and greens
They got fine ladies that'll treat you right
And Papa Joe plays there every night

2. Well, the long-haired beauty says "Step right in"
And you can bet a full dollar she's be your friend
Everybody there has a tolerable time
Down at Papa Joe's

- Doo doo, doodle loodle loo doo, doodle doo doo
Doo doo, doodle loodle loo doo, doodle doo doo

3. Papa Joe's got a swingin' band
You can rock and roll to Dixieland
The customers knows it's the place to go
Down at Papa Joe's

4. A little waitress comes to set you down
She's got the best of all the legs in town
There's a welcome sign hangin' on the door
So don't you be afraid to ask for more

5. Now the only time Joe close at night
Is when the Police sergeant turns out the light
They get a little mad but they don't fight
Down at Papa Joe's

- Doo doo, doodle loodle loo doo, doodle doo doo
Doo doo, doodle loodle loo doo, doodle doo doo

6. It's thicker than fleas on a monkey's back
But the folks down there, they like it like that
They live it up and they all come back
Down at Papa Joes
