Boodle-De-Bum Blues

I was down in the alley, trying to sell my coal today
I was down in the alley, trying to sell my coal today
And a woman run out and holler "Get my mule away"

She wanted to Boodely Bum Bum
She hollahed Boodely Bum Bum
Ah Boodley Bum, Boodley Bum, Boodley Bum Bum

I went with Ice Man Jackson, he sold his ice and coal
I went with Ice Man Jackson, he sold his ice and coal
But he blowed in all his money buyin' sweet jelly roll

He wanted to Boodley Bum Bum
Awwww Boodley Bum Bum
Jus' had to Boodley Bum, Boodley Bum, Boodley Bum Bum

We stopped on 18 and Federal, just two blocks west of State
Stopped on 18 and Federal, just two blocks west of State
And when he got up under that vi-dockt, well, he would not wait

He had to Boodley Bum Bum
Awwww Boodley Bum Bum
Ah Boo Dloo, Boodley Bum Bum

She said money don't excite me, and that we all know well
She said money don't excite me, and that we all know well
But Jackson showed her fifty dollahs, and she almost fell!

She wanted to Boodley Bum Bum
Jus had to Boodley Bum Bum
Awwww Boodley Bum, Boodley Bum, Boodley Bum Bum

She had wind like a Greyhound, and she sho could run
She had wind like a Greyhound, and she sho could run
And Jackson got on like a reindeer, and he runned her some

Oh Boodley Bum Bum
It was a Boodley Bum, Boodley Bum, Boodley Bum Bum
