Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dutch took 'em on the slow train to Peking on La Brea Avenue
To find the Stax and Sun that they was reachin' to get through
They was rappin' a flat scat to wanna pop up in the point of their taps
Between the chicken in the back, and they drew themselves
A bebop of midnight map, they say
[Verse 2]
Do you got a map of the next joint?
Do you got a map of the next joint?
[Verse 3]
Pick it up on the night train
Down on the corner of rhythm and blues
Where I have met all of my boys since
Back in '52
Bringin' 'em Stax and Sun
'Cause I think that Cleveland forgot, Memphis forgot
Where they were comin' from
[Verse 4]
Do you like it, do you like it like that?
Do you like rappin' and fat scat?
[Verse 5]
I got the boogie, boogie in my socks
Please don't make the little girl stop
[Verse 6]
Woody and Dutch dance in cell fourteen
Like a pill, and they do it all night
The spectators, white walls, pimps, and grease back
Every Saturday night
Lean in the scenery, pickin' up the kids at the next-door neighbors'
And I know what you did, yeah
Well, I got a room you can probably stay in
If you promise you won't make too much noise
[Verse 7]
No, I won't
No, I don't
