Cab Calloway - The Ghost of Smokey Joe lyrics

You didn't see me climb through the window Nobody had to open that door I just climb right through the wall and I want you one and all To stand aside and let me have the floor Take a look, I'm not such a stranger Here's a face you cokies all ought to know You can tell me I'm not wanted, but the joint will still be haunted 'Cause I'm the ghost of Smokey Joe Remember when I kicked the bucket In my mansion up on Strivers' Row When they came and took me off in A zillion dollar coffin 'Cause I'm the ghost of Smokey Joe Tell me, do you remember Minnie? (Yeah, we remember Minnie) That frail I never found You never recognize your Minnie (You never recognize your Minnie) You mean to say that Minnie Quit kickin' the gong around? I got a date on my estate down in Hades Call my chariot so I can go And should the moocher walk in Just tell her you've been talkin' To the ghost of Smokey Joe Yes, I remember Minnie She's that frail I never found You mean to say that Minnie Quit kickin' the gong around? I got a date on my estate down in Hades Call my chariot so I can go And should the moocher walk in Just tell her you've been talkin' To the ghost of Smokey Joe
