Zoot Suit Riot
Cherry Poppin' Daddies


Who's that whisperin' in the trees
It's two sailors and they're on leave
Pipes and chains and swingin' hands
Who's your daddy? yes I am
Fat cat came to play now he can't run fast enough
You had best stay away when the pushers come to shove
Zoot suit riot
Throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot
Throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot
Throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot
Throw back a bottle of beer

Pull a comb through your coal black hair
A whipped up jitterbuggin' brown eyed man
A stray cat frontin' up an eight-piece band
Cut me sammy and you'll understand
In my veins hot music ran
You got me in a sway
And I want to swing you done
Now you sailors know
Where your women come for love
Zoot suit riot
You're in a zoot suit riot
Throw back a bottle of beer
Throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot
Zoot suit riot
Pull a comb through your coal black hair
Throw back a bottle of beer



Your really zoot suit riot
Your really zoot suit riot
Your really zoot sut riot
You got me in a sway
And i want to swing you done
Now you sailors know
Where your women come for love
Zoot suit riot
Throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot
Pull a comb through your coal black hair
Zoot suit riot
Throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot
Pull a comb through your coal black hair
Your really zoot suit riot
Your really zoot suit riot
Your really zoot suit riot
