The Ghost Of Smokey Joe
Cab Calloway
You didn't see me climb through the window
Nobody had to open that door
I just climb right through the wall and I want you one and all
To stand aside and let me have the floor
Take a look, I'm not such a stranger
Here's a face you cokies all ought to know
You can tell me I'm not wanted, but the joint will still be haunted
'Cause I'm the ghost of smokey joe
Remember when I kicked the bucket
In my mansion up on strivers' row
When they came and took me off in
A zillion dollar coffin
'Cause I'm the ghost of smokey joe
Tell me, do you remember minnie? (yeah, we remember minnie)
That frail I never found
You never recognize your minnie (you never recognize your minnie)
You mean to say that minnie
Quit kickin' the gong around?
I got a date on my estate down in hades
Call my chariot so I can go
And should the moocher walk in
Just tell her you've been talkin'
To the ghost of smokey joe
Yes, I remember minnie
She's that frail I never found
You mean to say that minnie
Quit kickin' the gong around?
I got a date on my estate down in hades
Call my chariot so I can go
And should the moocher walk in
Just tell her you've been talkin'
To the ghost of smokey joe
