Lyrics: Jason Ricci Music: Jason Ricci Street gravy and the broken beads And the Quarter rats are all following me Gutter punks they’re kicking heroin Can’t hop the train back to Oregon Khris Royal down at the Spotte Cat Doubling on bass and alto sax Brass band blowing for the hell of it Tuba sounds just like an elephant
Bass line flowing up from Trinidad They’re cooking up and speeding up Like Breaking Bad Welcome to the Big Diseasey More electric than old Ken Kesey
Get the thrill of the chill Down at Negril Delta Funk gonna take you order in the Quarter Adrian Zeus got the rush and the power Gonna play five sets all over an hour
Got the funk so strong like Obi-Wan Spy boy yelling ‘Indian’ Hot 8 haunting this old ghost town
Way up town and thick as thieves Vidacovich trio at the Maple Leaf Every day of the week we in high gear Playing harder in a day than New York in a year
Sunday morning cooking etouffee Saints in the dome We about to play Never forget 3-28 It’s 504 New Orleans Saints
Once it’s in you you can’t lose it Jazz, Funk and Blues And New Orleans music It’s greasy and it’s gritty And it’s in the cracks You know we’re gonna pull it, Back Pull it back pull it back Who dat we dat all dat Cat attack, ‘Meow’
