Meet You at the Chicken Shack

Here's my verbatim transcript of Sam Lightning Hopkins lyrics as talked/sung on January 23, 1962, in Houston, Texas, with Spider Kilpatrick on drums. I couldn't find them anywhere on the internet, so here goes.

Meet You at the Chicken Shack

All right!
We gotta hurry, Spider
You know we gotta get back
They havin' a dance tonight over there
At that they call it that little Chicken Shack
Wellie, we’re gonna meet you there
All right!
Walk along and tell me when you
know we’re near about there.

I’m in a hurry ‘cause I know my girl gonna be there
I know it, these are the words she said:
“If I don’t meet you at the Chicken Shack
I’m gonna meet you at the Club Matinee.”
She say, “you know I’m right.”
She say, we can go ahead and we can boogie there all night
And that made me feel better than just part-of-the-night.

Just look at her go!
She brought the boogie in here
And she can boogie plum down on the floor.
The reason I like her -- they call her Mary Jo.

Let’s boogie one more time, boy.
Whoo!
Sure enough!
Go ahead, girl and strut your stuff!
She stands up in her hand
Then she turns, dip just like a fan.
She’s a good little girl
Knows all about the boogie.
There’s a new boogie and a new style.
Let’s rest a while.
All right!

Whoo!

She says lookee yonder
Here come my brother Joe.
She said this thing is getting good
Now we gonna boogie some more!

Mmmmmhhhhh
Let’s boogie all night!
Mmmmmhhhhh
Let’s boogie all night! Mmmmm
I don’t wanna stop now baby
Cause I know that ain’t right.
Let’s boogie a while, Spider.
Work a while. . .
