C
Say there's a place in New Orleans
D7
That serves fried chicken with turnip greens
G7
Crawfish bisque that treats you right
C
And Papa Joe plays there every night
C
A little dark haired cutie says step right in
D7
And you can bet a whole dollar she'll be your friend
G7
Everybody there has a tolerable time
C
Down at Papa Joe's
C
Papa Joe's got a swinging band
D7
You can rock and roll to Dixieland
G7
The customers know it's the place to go
C
Down at Papa Joe's
C
A little waitress comes to set you down
D7
She's got the best frog legs in town
G7
There's a welcome sign hanging on the door
C
So don't you be afraid to ask for more
C
Now the only time Joe closes at night
D7
Is when the police comes and turns out the light
G7
They get a little mad but they don't fight
C
Down at Papa Joe's
C
It's thicker than fleas on a monkey's back
D7
But the folks down there, they like it like that
G7
They live it up and they all come back
C
Down at Papa Joe's
