Willie The Weeper

(álbum: Rare Junk - 1968)

Let me tell you 'bout Willie the weeper
Willie the weeper was a chimney sweeper
He had the hop habit and he had it bad
Listen while I tell you 'bout a dream he had.

Hi-de-hi-de-hi (Hi-de-hi-de-hi) Ho-de-ho-de-ho (Ho-de-ho-de-ho)

Willie went to a hop-joint late last night
He knew that the light would be burning bright
I guess he must've smoked a dozen pills or more
'Cause when he woke up he was on a foreign shore.

Hi-de-hi-de-hi (Hi-de-hi-de-hi) Ho-de-ho-de-ho (Ho-de-ho-de-ho)

The queen of Belgium was the first he met
She called him her darling and her loving pet
She gave him a genuine Ford automobile
With a diamond headlight and silver steering wheel.

Hi-de-hi-de-hi (Hi-de-hi-de-hi) Ho-de-ho-de-ho (Ho-de-ho-de-ho)

She had a million cattle and she had a million sheep
She had a million vessels in the ocean deep
She had a million dollars all in nickels and dimes
He knew it 'cause he counted them a million times.

Hi-de-hi-de-hi (Hi-de-hi-de-hi) Ho-de-ho-de-ho (Ho-de-ho-de-ho)

Willie got to New York one night late
He called his sugar baby up for a date
He got funny and began to shout
And blim-blam-bloom, well, the dope give out.

Hi-de-hi-de-hi (Hi-de-hi-de-hi) Ho-de-ho-de-ho (Ho-de-ho-de-ho)
