Wand Dang Doodle

PJ Harvey · Other Songs - PJ Harvey

Tell automatic slim

Tell razor-totin' jim

Tell butcher-knife-totin' annie

Tell fast-talkin' fannie

We're gonna pitch a ball

Down to the union hall

We're gonna romp and trump 'til midnight

We're gonna fuss and fight 'til daylight

We're gonna get your wang dang doodle all night long

Tell cooda-crawlin' ray

To tell abyssinia ned

To tell old pistol pete

To tell everybody he meets

Tonight we need no rest

We're gonna really throw a mess

We're gonna knock down all the windows

We're gonna kick down all the doors

We're gonna pitch a wang dang doodle all night long

All night long x4

Tell fats and washboard sam

Everybody gonna jam

Tell shaking boxcar joe

We got sawdust on the floor

Not tell peggy and collin dine

We're gonna have a heck of a time

Now when the fish scent fills the air

There'll be snuff juice everywhere

We're gonna pitch a wang dang doodle all night long

All night long...
