Downstairs at danny's all-star joint

They got a juke box that goes doyt-doyt

The vice is nice they stay in the back all day

But when the nighttime comes hey-hey

There's this cat down there that makes a bad kinda soup

I come around strutting my luck in my shoop coupe

Cecil gives me coffee

And he won't never take my coin

I say I got thirty dollars in my pocket

Whatchoo doing

I holler Come on Cecil take a dollar

Come on Cecil take a ten

I've finally geared up into a whole buncha big ones

And you're acting like I'm down-shifting

He knows all the under-riders on the boulevard

They got to barefoot cruise when it's forty-weight hard

They look particularly dead-beat

Permanently pale

Cecil picks up his butcher knife

Waves it at the jail

The kid say I ain't got no dough Joe I just want some o j

I said Don't look at me

Cuz he was looking my way

Cecil wink upon him some juice and some green

And the kid walks over and puts the quarter

In the pinball machine

Come on Cecil gimme a dollar

Come on Cecil gimme five

I'm in a half-way house on a one-way street

And I'm a quarter past left alive

He can talk about your people in a wonderful way

He can talk about your people 'til your hair turns grey

Your sister's into mustard

She loves to walk the pub

She likes the pickles and the relish she never gets enough

A Hershey milkshake steaming on a stick

For a Card Blanché sandwich

Oh lettuce get thick

It's not because I'm dirty

It's not because I'm clean

It's not because I kiss the boys behind the magazine

Hey boys

How 'bout a fight

Cuz here comes Rickie with the girdle on tight

And if she don't know your name

She knows what you got

From Your matzo balls

To the chicken-in-the-pot

Chicken-in-the-pot

Chicken-in-the-pot

Downstairs at Danny's All Star Joint

They got a juke box that goes doyt-doyt

A finger-snapping deluxe

Make your be-bop bap

And your will hep-scat

You can't break the rules until you know

How to play the game

But if you just want to have a little fun

You can mention my name

Keep your feet on the street

Your toes on the lawn

But keep your business in your pocket

This is it were it belongs

Come on Cecil take a dollar

Come on Cecil take a tip

Take do yourself a favor If she offers it take it

But honey don't give it away if she don't appreciate it
