Johnny Otis
Crazy Country Hop
(it´s a 12 bar Blues in A)
A
Way down in a country town one day
A D
A little ole' country band began to play
A D
They had two guitars and a beat-up saxophone;
E A
When the leader said go them cats began to blow
CHORUS:
D A
Ooh wee oh oh,
E A
Ooh la la, let's rock and roll
A
Now all the poeple gathered 'round
A
Just to dig that rockin' rollin' sound
A D
Suddenly the drummer rang a bell
E A
And all them country cats began to yell
Chorus
A
Ole' MacDonald did a crazy bop
A
Said it's time to milk my cow, I got to stop,
A D
But just before I cool it and cut out
E A
Here's something all you cats can think about
Chorus
A
Snaggle-toothed Malinda was a drag,
A
She latched onto a dude who showed up stag
A D
He tried to run and then he tripped and fell;
E A
She kissed him and we all could hear him yell
Chorus
A
Well, a hound dog ran a polecat into town,
A
Brought him to the dance and laid him down
A D
Someone hollered skunk and you can bet
E A
All them country cats is runnin' yet
