Letra
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
Tradução da letra
Invadiram a prisão, derrubaram toda a gente menos eu.
Sim, invadiram a casa, derrubaram todos menos eu.
Estava no canto tão alto quanto podia estar
Alguns jogavam blackjack, outros jogavam skin.
Tinha muito dinheiro, mas não me deixaram entrar.
Sim, invadiram a casa, derrubaram todos menos eu.
Estava no canto tão alto quanto podia estar
Trataram - me como um estranho, como um cão sujo.
Comeu todas as costeletas, deu-me a cauda do porco
Depois invadiram a prisão, derrubaram toda a gente menos eu.
Estava no canto tão alto quanto podia estar
Agora eles estavam bebendo gin, bebendo muito rápido
Ofereceram-me King Kong, mas não encontrei um copo.
Invadiram a prisão, derrubaram toda a gente menos eu.
Estava no canto tão alto quanto podia estar
Alguns bebiam uísque, outros bebiam rhum.
Eles tinham um olhar traiçoeiro, mas não me deram nenhum.
Sim, invadiram a casa, derrubaram todos menos eu.
Eu estava no canto, desmaiado como podia estar
Foi mesmo engraçado, o melhor que já vi
Eles ouviram alguém a bater e entraram pela lei
Invadiram a prisão, derrubaram toda a gente menos eu.
Estava no canto tão alto quanto podia estar
Agora eles estavam dançando na cozinha, boogin' no corredor
Rapaz do cordão, conta tudo ao juiz.
Invadiram a prisão, derrubaram toda a gente menos eu.
Eu estava no canto, o mais alto que podia estar
