Can't You Read - Big Maceo[00:00:00]
Way back tale[00:00:08]
In nineteen hundred and ten[00:00:09]
The monkey and the baboon[00:00:12]
They came walking in[00:00:13]
The monkey told the baboon[00:00:15]
Let's shoot a game of pool[00:00:16]
The monkey could shoot[00:00:19]
But the baboon wadn't no fool[00:00:20]
Next thing came along[00:00:23]
Was a little mule[00:00:24]
He say you know I'm so mad[00:00:26]
I even can't wear no shoes[00:00:27]
Next thing came along[00:00:30]
There was Mr Cat[00:00:31]
We ain't gon' have no such-a stuff[00:00:33]
Goin' on here like that[00:00:35]
Next thing came[00:00:37]
Was a little mouse[00:00:38]
Let's all get drunk[00:00:40]
And break up the doggone house[00:00:42]
Can't ya re-ead[00:00:44]
Now can't ya re-ead[00:00:47]
If ya keep on readin'[00:00:51]
I'm bound to put you wise[00:00:54]
Well the monkey and the elephant[00:00:59]
They went out for a little drive[00:01:01]
The elephant hit the monkey[00:01:03]
Right square in his eye[00:01:04]
The monkey looked up[00:01:07]
With a tear in his eye[00:01:08]
Said look-a-here big boy[00:01:10]
You oughta get someone yo' size[00:01:11]
One a these days[00:01:14]
I'm gonna climb yo' tree[00:01:15]
Remember big boy[00:01:18]
You got to march right under me[00:01:19]
When you march under me[00:01:21]
You better march careful and fast[00:01:22]
I get me limb and break it[00:01:25]
Cross yo'[00:01:26]
Now can't you're-ead[00:01:28]
Now can't you're-ead[00:01:32]
If you keep on readin'[00:01:36]
I'm bound to put you wise[00:01:38]
If anybody jus' happen to ask'd you[00:01:43]
Where the waiting gonna be[00:01:45]
Tell him right down there on[00:01:48]
Hazen street[00:01:49]
Go down there[00:01:51]
Just about the end of the week[00:01:52]
You can get most anything[00:01:55]
That you care to eat[00:01:56]
If you don't like shrimp[00:01:58]
Just na-ame yo' dish[00:02:00]
They will even sell you[00:02:02]
Some a-that ol' filtie fish[00:02:03]

Well fifteen cents[00:02:42]
You know that's reg'lar price[00:02:44]
If you got two bits[00:02:46]
They will even serve you twice[00:02:47]
Can't you're-ead[00:02:49]
