BLACK COFFEE
(Al Goodhart (m) Al Hoffman (m) Maurice Sigler (l) )
as recorded by
Nat Gonella & his Georgians
July 1935
Black coffee, I'm in trouble,
Black coffee, I see double!
(scat)
How am I to get home?
Black coffee, I'm so dizzy,
Back coffee, please get busy!
(scat)
Help me so I can get home!
I had a little too much wumpysoo,
All I meant to take was one, oh!
Now my head is going loopyloo,
Some stop, eh xxxx? what fun, oh!
Black coffee, help me feller,
Black coffee, what'll I tell her?
(scat)
I'm afraid to go home!
