Lyrics
POOLEY STREET STOMP
Got myself a pretty twenty dollar bill
Gonna have a little fun from here to Barkerville
Got a little feelin that I can?t be beat
Got a meetin with my baby down on Pooly street
Oh yeah shakin the blues away
All week long a workin at the mine
Lookin on to Saturday at quittin time
Gonna be a steppin out and look my best
Gonna have a little fun til I forget the rest
Oh yeah shakin the blues away
Chorus
Where do we meet on Pooley Street
Now where?s the beat on Pooley Street
Oh yeah shakin the blues away
Tighten up the buttons on my one good suit
Divvy up a quarter for a fine cheroot
Boppin up the avenue and golly gee
There?s Ella with a fella in a model T
O my they?re shakin the blues away
chorus
O my my my -- O my my my yeah --2x
Shake it shake it
Air is cool and the band is hot
Everybody givin everything they got
Silver moon uppa in the sky
Heard about the boppin she be droppin by
OO she be shinin and designin
on our delight on sat day night
Chorus
