They raided the joint, took everybody down but me Yes they raided the joint, took everybody down but me I was over in the corner just as high as I could be Now some were playing blackjack, some were playing skin I had plenty money but they wouldn't let me in Yes they raided the joint, took everybody down but me I was over in the corner just as high as I could be They treated me like a stranger, like a dirty dog Ate up all the chops, gave me the tail of the hog Then they raided the joint, took everybody down but me I was over in the corner just as high as I could be Now they were drinking gin, drinking mighty fast They offered me some King Kong [?], but I couldn't find a glass They raided the joint, took everybody down but me I was over in the corner just as high as I could be Now some were drinking whiskey, some were drinking rhum They had some sneaky peep but they wouldn't give me none Yes they raided the joint, took everybody down but me I was over in the corner, knocked out as I could be Now gee it sure was funny, the best I ever saw They heard somebody knocking and in walked the law They raided the joint, took everybody down but me I was over in the corner just as high as I could be Now they were dancing in the kitchen, boogin' in the hall Boy down the cordon tell the judge about it all They raided the joint, took everybody down but me I was over in the corner, high as I could be
