Billy Mccoy was a musical boy On the Cruiser Alabama he was there at the piana Like a fish down in the sea, oh when he'd rattle off some harmony Every night out on the ocean he would get that raggy notion Start that syncopated motion lovingly No one could sleep way out there in the deep When Billy cut loose out at sea
(release) Each fish and worm... Begins to twist & squirm The ship starts in a dip and does a corkscrew turn You see that smoke so black sneak from that old smokestack It's floatin' right to heaven and it won't come back Now here and there you'll see a stool and chair A-slippin' 'round the cabin shoutin' "I don't care!" And then the hammock starts a-swingin' & the bell begins a-ringin' While he's sittin' at that piana... There on the Alabama
Playin' the Oceana Roll
Every time he sits down at the piana stool People start a-shoutin' "You're a playin' fool!" Cause he is the master of the razzmatazz He's known to everyone as Mr. Jazz When he gets it goin' with a real hot break Even Davy Jones begins to shim and shake Oh proudly you'll declare, that he's a fair What a lot of music he can make So listen here, and lend an ear So listen here and lend an ear and lend an ear Doo-doot doo, doo doo doo doo-doot doo Slippin' round the cabin shoutin' "I don't care!" And then the hammock starts a-swingin' & the bell begins a-ringin' While he's sittin' at that piana... There on the Alabama Playin' the Oceana RollTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
