Woody And Dutch On The Slow Train To Peking Lyrics - Twelve Bars Past Midnight - Rickie Lee Jones

Dutch took 'em on the slow train to Peking on La Brea Avenue 

To find the Stax and Sun 

They were reaching to get to 

They was a rapping the flat scat 

Diamond dialectos of points and taps 

Between the chicken and the back 

They drew themselves a be-bop 

Midnight map 

They said "do you got a map the next joint?" 

"Do you got a map the next joint?" 

Pick it up on the night train 

Down on the corner of rhythm and blues 

Where I have met all of my boys since 

Back in '52 

Bringing 'em Stax and Sun 

'Cause I think that Cleveland forgot 

And Memphis forgot 

Where they were coming from 

Do ya like it? Do ya like it like that? 

Do you like rapping the fat scat? 

Woody and Dutch dance in the cell of fourteen 

Like a pill they do it all night 

Spectators 

White-walls, find and greased back 

Every Saturday night 

Leaning in the scenery 

Picking up the kids 

At the next door neighbors' 

"Yeah I know what you did 

Yeah I got a room you can stay in 

If you promise you won't make so much noise" 

"No I won't" 

"No I don't!"
