Louis Jordan
Boogie Woogie Blue Plate
There's a gal at the local beanery
She's a pretty hunk of scenery
She can make a chocolate soda go hiss
You oughta go around and dig it
When she's workin' at the spigot
You can hear her calling orders like this
"Give me a ham white down and a burger rare
Side a slaw and a seven layer
OJ up, wreck two in a cup
And a boogie woogie blue plate"
"Give me a triple beef on a load of hay
Combo rye and a bottle of ale
Coming through with a slab of moo
And a boogie woogie blue plate"
"Draw one, draw two, get that coffee perkin'
Draw three, draw four, hold that mayo on the chopped egg workin'
One a tuna wheat with a side of fries
86 on the cherry pies
Side of greens on the franks and beans
And a boogie woogie blue plate"
"Draw one, draw two, get that coffee perkin'
Draw three, you better make it four, hold that mayo on the chopped egg workin'
One a tuna wheat with a side of fries
86 on the cherry pies
Side of greens on the franks and beans
And a boogie woogie blue plate
Boogie woogie blue plate"
