Bacon Fat Songtext
von Andre Williams

While I was down in Tennessee
All my friends was glad to see me
Seen some down by the railroad track
Seen some cotton pickers with their sacks on their backs
They say, "Hey man, we′re glad to see you back
We got a new dance they call the Bacon Fat"

It goes, diddly-diddly-diddly-dee
Oh have mercy
Entertain the people, youngin'
Help yourself, youngin′
Then you go, diddly-diddly-diddly-dee
Oh, but the chicken was never like this
Oh, I feel like I wanna holler but the town's too small
Have mercy


Now then I went down to see my local DJ
His name is Kane, he lives down Tennessee way
I said, "Hey man, what's this new kind of jump
Where you wind up twice and then you end up with a bump"
He said, "Dig, Danny, this is a natural fact
It′s sweeping the south, that thing, the Bacon Fat"

You go, diddly-diddly-diddly-dee
Oh, have mercy
Entertain the people, youngin′
Help yourself, youngin'
Oh, have mercy

Oh, now play it good, now play it good
Oh, have mercy
Yes, but the chicken was never like this
Have mercy
Have mercy, youngin′
Have mercy
Have mercy
Oh, have mercy
