Kickin' The Gong Around Lyrics - Cab Calloway

It was down in Chinatown, 

All the cookies laid around, 

Some were high and some were mighty low, 

There were millions on the floor 

When a knock came on the door, 

And there stood old Smoky Joe. 

 

He was sweatin', cold and pale, 

He was lookin' for his frail, 

He was broke and all his junk ran out, 

Nobody made a sound, 

As he stood and looked around, 

And then you hear old Smoky shout: 

 

Saying, "Tell me where is Minnie? 

My poor Minnie! 

Has she been here, 

Kicking the gong around?" 

 

"If you don't know Minnie, 

She's tall and skinny, 

She gets her pleasure 

Kicking the gong around!" 

 

"Just tell her Smoky Joe 

Was here and had to go." 

And as he departed, 

The curtains parted, 

And there stood Minnie 

Kicking the gong around! 

 

It was down in Chinatown, 

All the cokies laid around, 

Some were high and some were mighty low, 

Count millions on the floor 

When a knock came on the door, 

And there stood old Smoky Joe. 

 

He was sweatin', cold and pale, 

He was lookin' for his frail, 

He was broke and all his junk ran out, 

As he stood and looked around, 

Nobody made a sound, 

And then you hear old Smoky shout: 

 

"Tell me where is Minnie? 

Oh, I want my little Minnie! 

Has she been here, 

Kicking the gong around?" 

 

"If you don't know Minnie, 

Oh, she's tall and skinny, 

She gets her pleasure 

Kicking the gong around!" 

 

"You just tell her Smoky Joe 

Was here and had to go." 

And as he departed, 

The curtains parted, 

And there was Minnie 

Kickin' the gong around!
