PEABODY'S TOMB


(Lauere / Anson / Jason)
Steve Bledsoe & The Blue Jays - 1958




Peabody's Tomb, Peabody's Tomb
Everybody knows it's a jumpin' room
Soda's a nickel, dogs are a dime
Fifteen cents (Have yourself a time)
 
There's a new juke joint, quite a spot
Right next door to a cemetery lot
It looks so scary (Sounds like doom)
Come and get happy at Peabody's Tomb
 
Peabody's Tomb, Peabody's Tomb
Everybody knows it's a jumpin' room
Soda's a nickel, dogs are a dime
Fifteen cents (Have yourself a time)
 
Joe the waiter's eyes are red
Purple nose and a pointed head
He walks so spooky (Draped in gloom)
Come and get happy at Peabody's Tomb
 
Peabody's Tomb, Peabody's Tomb
Everybody knows it's a jumpin' room
Soda's a nickel, dogs are a dime
Fifteen cents (Have yourself a time)
 
Jean the waitress, tall and pale
See right through her, skinny as a rail
She waits on table (On her broom)
Come and get happy at Peabody's Tomb
 
Peabody's Tomb, Peabody's Tomb
Everybody knows it's a jumpin' room
Soda's a nickel, dogs are a dime
Fifteen cents (Have yourself a time)
 
Peabody's Tomb
Peabody's Tomb
Peabody's Tomb
