Drinking in the nightclub with my bosom friend
Who come down to spend the weekend
When I look back who'd you think I see
But one of my family
Good heavens I shout
Mama Jacob, what the France you doin' in a night club
Same time the rock and roll start to play
She hold onto a Yankee and break away
I tell you, but if you see me woman bruddah
She more than sixty, and I'm sure,
without any doubt, she could be me granny
Still she walkin' bolls at night because
She face like Jack Palance, go to France
Step aside and give this sparrow a chance.
