Funky Butt (I Thought I Heard Buddy Bolden Say)

Thought I heard Buddy Bolden say
Yeah, you're awful, you're terrible, take him away
Disgusting, undesirable, take him away
I thought I heard him say

I thought I heard Buddy Bolden shout
He said, ""Open up that window, let that bad air out""
He said, ""Boy, you in the back there in that corner, open up that window, let that bad air out""
Yeah, I thought I heard Buddy Bolden shout

Well, I thought I heard Robert Charles exclaim
He said, ""I'm the man drove all those white folks insane""
Yeah, he said, ""I killed two dozen people just for mistaking my name""
That was Robert Charles's exclaim

Now, I thought I heard Buddy Bolden repeat
He said, ""Now, I can play it hot or, baby, I can play it sweet""
He said, ""You know, I lost my mind on Rampart Street""
Yeah, that was Buddy Bolden's repeat

Hey, Buddy Bolden
Buddy, won't you play them blues
Hey, Buddy Bolden
Play them any way you choose
