Here are the lyrics I took on Ari' recording & Tom Dorsey
I play the following chords progression
C / F / G7 / C
C / F - F° / G7 / C
F / F / F / C
C / F / G7 / C
Is it correct ?
Any one can correct me ?
Thanks in advance
He liked her and she liked him
Ford broke down in a quiet park
Didnt get home till after dark
But they got it fixed, aint no doubt
Nobody knows what its all about
Too bad that the news got out
But they got it fixed right on
She broke his peg leg half in two
On the way to fix the leg
He let his gal take a whole lot of peg
Knocked on the front door ran to the rear
Called the carpenter the very next day
Somebody took the backdoor away
Grabbed the butchers big ham hop
Butchers knocked her off her feet
Missed his bones but she got his meat
To discuss the subject of sex appeal
Well, had to stop that argument : right or wrong
Cause sex appeal was much too strong
Selling those doughnuts and lollipops
Preacher came down to save her soul
She asked him to fix her a Jelly Roll
7 There's one thing if you go to eat
Bread's no good without the meat
Followed my gal to the store one day
And I thought about giving her bread away
