Night Fo’ Last (Unreleased Version) Lyrics by Shorty Long

0

[Verse 1]
Know I'm the same man, that gave the function
Remember the big fair, down at the junction
Mister Party is my name
And baby having big fun is my game
[Chorus]
Child, you oughta been there, night fo' last
Seen sister [?] shakin' her tailfeather
Sho' was a funny sight (a real gas)
Watching grandpa getting his thing together
[Verse 2]
Then he headed onto the floor
Said hold my cane, son, and watch me go
'Cause I'm feeling sixteen, not sixty-four
And all of the hippies started screaming and screaming
And go grandpa go, go grandpa go!
[Verse 3]
Child you oughta know that, I'm comin' easy
Wastin' no time, gettin' busy
Doing the [?] or little Hucklebuck
And for an old girl, she really knew her stuff
Then somebody turned the lights down the low
And said we're gonna lock all the doors
And then up jumped Doctor Feelgood
And he started to do a twist
And said "I ain't never been to a joint like this"
("Look at granny go!")
("That's alright! That's alright!")
("Go ahead, go ahead")
("Go on grandpa!")
[Verse 4]
The cuckoo-clock started striking four
The band said we're sorry folks, it's time to go
Somebody plugged the jukebox up in the floor
Oh then up jumps Skinny-Minny, doin' the shimmy-shimmy
Out went daddy [?] holding a piece of barbeque
[Chorus]
You oughta been there, night fo' last
Watching grandpa getting his thing together
You oughta been there, night fo' last
Seen sister [?] shakin' her tailfeather
[Outro]
You oughta been there, night fo' last
[?]
Child, you oughta been there, you oughta been there
Girl, you oughta been there, you know you oughta been there
You oughta been there, child, you oughta been there
You oughta been there...
