Fat Sam from Birmingham - Louis Jordan (路易斯·乔丹)[00:00:00]
Birmingham [00:00:02]
There's Sam [00:00:05]
If you ever get down to Birmingham[00:00:08]
Stop off and see my friend Fat Sam[00:00:11]
He's a little butter-ball who aims to please[00:00:14]
With him every night is like New Year's Eve[00:00:17]
You'll find him on the corner [00:00:19]
Front of Shorter's bar[00:00:21]
With a box-back coat and a big cigar[00:00:22]
He's always wearing a big wide-brim[00:00:25]
Just tell him I sent you and man you' in [00:00:27]
Fat Sam from Birmingham always on the ball[00:00:31]
Fat Sam from Birmingham as wide as he is tall[00:00:36]
If you're on the loose and you wanna play[00:00:51]
Sam's the man to show you the way[00:00:55]
'Cause all the chicks fall for his groovy line[00:00:57]
And he's ready for a party any old time[00:01:00]
If you get a little hungry and you wanna eat[00:01:02]
Tell Sam all about it and he'll give you a treat[00:01:05]
Neck-bones and beans and catfish too[00:01:08]
And what could be better than a good beef stew [00:01:10]
Fat Sam from Birmingham always on the ball[00:01:14]
Fat Sam from Birmingham as wide as he is tall[00:01:19]
He'll tell you 'bout money he's made and spent[00:01:34]
And if you're down on your luck[00:01:37]
He'll pay your rent[00:01:38]
He'll drink and fight and laugh and sing[00:01:40]
'Cause the world don't owe him a dog-gone thing [00:01:42]
He plays poker coon-can and skin[00:01:45]
But listen all you gamblin' men [00:01:48]
If you're lookin' around for a real soft touch[00:01:51]
Don't mess with Sam 'cause he's much too much [00:01:53]
Fat Sam from Birmingham always on the ball[00:01:57]
Fat Sam from Birmingham as wide as he is tall[00:02:02]
Now big sister Bessie used to spend her days[00:02:17]
Preachin' to Sam to change his ways;[00:02:21]
She followed him around with a book in her hand[00:02:23]
Tryin' to make Sam a righteous man [00:02:26]
The Sunday congregation was all put out[00:02:28]
When big sister Bessie jumped up to shout[00:02:31]
She used to think preaching was her line[00:02:34]
But Jack since she met Sam [00:02:36]
She changed her mind [00:02:38]
Fat Sam from Birmingham always on the ball[00:02:40]
Fat Sam from Birmingham as wide as he is tall[00:02:45]
That's Sam from 'Bam[00:02:53]
