Lyrics:

I been to social functions down around Mobile
Attended them in Richmond where they rock for real
I fell in on a barbecue in Birmingham
I went in like a lion, and came out like a lamb

I messed around in Memphis, thought it was an inn
Boy what a session, thought I'd never mend
But I can tell you now that I've never lived
Until that fine lodge meeting down in Louisville

Man, it was crazy, sure was crazy
They were balling and brawling from Thursday night to Friday morn'
It was crazy, sure was crazy
They were balling and brawling from Thursday night to Friday morn'

The meeting of the owner of the 'Western Star'
Was moving in the groove at the refreshment bar
The brotherhood and me was getting on first rate
When in walked the most exalted potentate

He said, 'Now brothers, mind your manners, be polite
The Sister membership is dropping in tonight'
Just then the chicks arrived, and Jack, they raised Sam Hill
At the good lodge meeting down in Louisville

Man, it was crazy, sure was crazy
They were balling and brawling from Thursday night to Friday morn'
It was crazy, sure was crazy
They were balling and brawling from Thursday night to Friday morn'

The room began to jumping like a Pogo stick
I started in promoting me a real lush chick
I never jived a gal so fine in all my life
When a big bass voice hollered, 'Put her down, boy, that's my wife'

The most exalted potentate was mighty burned
He kicked me in my belly, while my back was turned
He pulled the leg right off the most exalted throne
And beat my head like a xylophone

Man, it was crazy, sure was crazy
They were balling and brawling from Thursday night to Friday morn'
It was crazy, sure was crazy
They were balling and brawling from Thursday night to Friday morn'

The friendly brothers acted most unbrotherly
Fists began to fly, and mainly right at me
The sisters started pulling hair, with great concern
And no one made a motion to adjourn

I made myself an exit through a window pane
My feet was doing sixty when I hopped that train
The way I left them cats, they must be fighting still
At the good lodge meeting down in Louisville

Man, it was crazy, sure was crazy
They were balling and brawling from Thursday night to Friday morn'
It was crazy, sure was crazy
I ain't never had so much fun before
But Jack, I ain't gonna do that no more
I hear they're fighting still
At the good lodge meeting down in Louisville
