Bacon Fat Lyrics - Manhattan Transfer

(Sax Intro) Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh --yeah... 

Now when he went down in Tennessee, 

All my friends they was glad to see me 

Seen some down by the railroad track 

Seen some earth dealers with their sacks on their back 

They said now "Hey Man!" (hey man) 

"We're glad to see you back - 

we got a new dance they call the Bacon Fat.' 

You go 

Diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley wop wop 

Have mercy, have mercy (wop wop, yeah wop wop) 

'An then they go 

Diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley wop wop 

Help yourself, mama (wop wop, yeah wop wop) 

'An then they go 

Diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley wop wop 

(wop wop, yeah wop wop) 

Now then I went down to see my local deejay 

The cat's name is Cain, he lives down Tennessee way 

I said now "Hey man, what's this uh, new kinda jump - 

Where you wind up twice 'n then you end up with a bump?" 

He said now "Dig, Daddy!" (hey man) 

"It's a natural fact, it's a sweepin' the South, 

that thing the Bacon Fat." 

You go 

Diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley wop wop 

Aw you give me a rise in my Levis, mama! (wop wop, yeah wop wop) 

'An then they go 

Diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley wop wop 

Have mercy, have mercy (wop wop, yeah wop wop) 

'An then they go 

Diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley wop wop 

(wop wop, yeah wop wop) 

I said now 

(wop, wop) 

That's right 

(wop, wop) 

One more time - 

(wop, wop!)
