They Raided the Joint
Helen Humes

They raided the joint, took everybody down but me
Yes they raided the joint, took everybody down but me
I was over in the corner just as high as I could be

Now some were playing blackjack, some were playing skin
I had plenty money but they wouldn't let me in
Yes they raided the joint, took everybody down but me
I was over in the corner just as high as I could be

They treated me like a stranger, like a dirty dog
Ate up all the chops, gave me the tail of the hog
Then they raided the joint, took everybody down but me
I was over in the corner just as high as I could be

Now they were drinking gin, drinking mighty fast
They offered me some King Kong [?], but I couldn't find a glass
They raided the joint, took everybody down but me
I was over in the corner just as high as I could be

Now some were drinking whiskey, some were drinking rhum
They had some sneaky peep but they wouldn't give me none
Yes they raided the joint, took everybody down but me
I was over in the corner, knocked out as I could be

Now gee it sure was funny, the best I ever saw
They heard somebody knocking and in walked the law
They raided the joint, took everybody down but me
I was over in the corner just as high as I could be

Now they were dancing in the kitchen, boogin' in the hall
Boy down the cordon tell the judge about it all
They raided the joint, took everybody down but me
I was over in the corner, high as I could be

Lyrics by Helen Humes

  All Night Long   And the Angels Sing   Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea   Every Now And Then   Exactly Like You   Home (When Shadows Fall)   I Cried for You   I Hear a Rhapsody   I Surrender Dear   I Surrender, Dear   If I Could Be With You One Hour Tonight   Imagination   Let the Good Times Roll   Love Me or Leave Me   Mean to Me   Million Dollar Secret   Million Dollar Secret [Take 1][#]   Moonlight Serenade   My Old Flame   Needles and Pins   On the Sunny Side of the Street   Pennies from Heaven   Prisoner of Love   Solitude   Someday My Prince Will Come   St. Louis Blues   St. Louis Blues [Take 1]   Stardust   The Very Thought of You   This Love of Mine   Too Marvelous for Words   When I Grow Too Old to Dream   When the Saints Go Marching In   You Can Depend on Me   You Played on my Piano
