BACON FAT

Manhattan Transfer

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 ' 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
