Lyrics:

My Mary Janes been bitin' me for the past few minutes
That's sweet, you like my Mary Janes?
You like the little black bows on them? Nice and shiny
Well this one's bitin' my instep
Ladies and gentlemen
If you will please, help me reward a very talented young man
Who is one of the bright stars in the composing business
And orchestrating business today, Mr. Quincy Jones
And uh, I couldn't possibly think up any adjectives to introduce this next group
So I merely say, the magnificent Count Basie and this great organization
I would very quickly like you to say hello to my pianist, Mr. Bill Miller
Who is sitting right behind this little spinet over here
Charlie Greenface, you dig that complexion?
He's got a green sunlamp
It's the cocktail hour, for me it is right now
Yeah, well, we're goin' down the line
And we're gonna get a little Jack Daniel's tonight
Because I want it known publicly that last night
I fell off the wagon, I did
I even smoked a couple of cigarettes last night
Who knows what evil lurks in the minds of men?
The shadow do
He gave me the finger like this
Oh, no no, let's get out of here
Oh, no no no, no no no no no no
No, next time around
Ladies and gentlemen before leaving you
I'd like to leave you with a proverb that was handed down to me
By General Lincoln
Not the Lincoln you know
Irving Lincoln, this guy's name is
"We feel sorry for people who don't drink
Because when you get up in a morning
That's as good as you're gonna feel for the rest of the day"
