RUSTY HINGE
Brown / La Freniere

as rec by Louis Jordan w Chick Webb & his Orch  
March 23rd 1937 New York


Rusty hinge on the bench,
Never satisfied with what I've got,
I'm a good for nothin' rusty hinge,
Always cringe!

I'll be drinkin' my corn
Till Gabriel blows his horn!
That music gets me swinging.
Maybe I don't know
What it means to swing.
Baby, I don't care
When I open my mouth and start to swing!

Rusty hinge on a bench,
Never satisfied with what I've got,
I'm a good for nothin' rusty hinge!
