Lyrics
Old Man Mose, early American jazz pianist
Had a grandson called Deadbelly
Old Man Mose walloped the rollicking keyport, wahoo wild hosts, piany
With monkeys in his hair, drooling spaghetti, beer, and beans
With a cigar mashed in his countenance, gleaming happiness
The furtive mad man of old sane times
Deadbelly don't hide it, lead killed Leadbelly
Deadbelly admit, Deadbelly modern cat, cool
Deadbelly man, craziest
Old Man Mose is dead, but Deadbelly get ahead
