Oh, beat it out, boys, beat it out just right,
Oh, beat it out, boys, beat it out just right,
Get full of good whiskey
And throw a ball all night!
Gonna spend our black money, just as long as it lasts!
Gonna spend our black money, just as long as it lasts!
And when it's all gone,
Boys, that's your yas, yas, yas!
Spoken: Let's all get together and knock a jug! Get all high and cut some rug! Oh, turn out the lights and make it kind of mellow! Now, how'm I doing? Yas! Yas! Guess Sister Lilly likes jug-knocking! Somebody bring Bob a taste!
Oh, come on, baby, follow me to my flat,
Oh, come on, baby, follow me to my flat,
Just turn the lights down low,
Baby, I swear it'll be tight like that!
Spoken: Now take it, boys! Ah, daddy, if you can dish it, I can take it! Aha! Somebody's been using that thing! Yes, yes, I've got hot nuts! Baby, I'm bettin' on you!
