ANYBODY HERE WANT TO TRY MY CABBAGE
(Andy Razaf / Edgar Dowell / Fats Waller)


Maggie Jones (with Louis Armstrong & Fletcher Henderson) - 1924
George McClennon's Jazz Devils (Instr.)  - 1925



Anybody here want to try my cabbage
Just step this way
Anybody here like to buy good cabbage
Just holler "Hey"

There's no sweeter cabbage anywhere in town
You can have it boiled or fried, nice and brown
Anybody here want to try my cabbage
Just step this way

Anybody here want to try my cabbage
Just step this way
Anybody here like to buy good cabbage
Just holler "Hey"

Gave some to the parson and he shook with glee
He took off collectin', gave it all to me
Anybody here want to try my cabbage
Just step this way

(Instrumental Break)

Gave it to a corn doctor to fix my feet
Every time he sees me, he wants to eat

(Instrumental Break)

Anybody here want to try my cabbage
Just step this way
Anybody here like to buy good cabbage
Just holler "Hey"

Gave some to the jailer who turned the key on me
When I got through feeding him he said, "Gal, you're free"
Anybody here want to try my cabbage
Just step this way
