My kind of party

Posted on May 18, 2009October 28, 2009 by SM

Here are the lyrics to Wang Dang Doodle, a song written by Willie Dixon for Howlin’ Wolf (and subsequently covered by just about everyone, including PJ Harvey, ZZ Top and the sublime Koko Taylor):

Tell Automatic Slim , tell Razor Totin’ Jim
Tell Butcher Knife Totin’ Annie, tell Fast Talking Fanny
We gonna pitch a ball, down to that union hall
We gonna romp and tromp till midnight
We gonna fuss and fight till daylight
We gonna pitch a wang dang doodle all night long
All night long, All night long, All night long

Tell Kudu-Crawlin’ Red, tell Abyssinian Ned
Tell ol’ Pistol Pete, everybody gonna meet
Tonight we need no rest, we really gonna throw a mess
We gonna to break out all of the windows,
We gonna kick down all the doors
We gonna pitch a wang dang doodle all night long
All night long, All night long, All night long

Tell Fats and Washboard Sam, that everybody gonna to jam
Tell Shaky and Boxcar Joe, we got sawdust on the floor
Tell Peg and Caroline Dye, we gonna have a time
When the fish scent fill the air, there’ll be snuff juice everywhere
We gonna pitch a wang dang doodle all night long
All night long, All night long, All night long

Now, I’m not sure what Dixon exactly meant with Wang Dang Doodle, but I’m ready to pitch one all night long anytime, along with Abyssinian Ned, Butcher Knife Totin’ Annie and Fast Talking Fanny.
