Goofing at the Table Songtext
von Jack Kerouac

Goofing at the table
You just don′t know
What don't I know?
How good this ham and eggs is
If you had any idea whatsoever how good this is
Then you would stop writing poetry and dig in
It′s been so long since I've been hungry, it's like a miracle
Ah, boy, but them bacon and them egg
Mr. Beggar and Mrs. Davey
Looney and crooney
I made a poem out of it
Haven′t smoked looney and crooney in a long time
Them eggs and them, them there bacons, baby
If you′ll only lay that down on a trumpet
Lay that down solid, brother 'Bout all them bacon and eggs
You gotta be able to lay it down solid
All that looney and frooney
Fragons, akons, and begs
Lay it
All that be-bobby, be-buddy, I didn′t
Took I could think so be-bop, be-boppy
Looney and jooney
That's where they get kinda hysterical
Looney and booney, jooner and mooner, moon, spoon, and June
Don′t they call them catmen that lay it down with the trumpet?
I call 'em them cat things
That′s really cute, ain't it?
William Carlos Williams
