Kickin' the Gong Around - Cab Calloway Written by：Arlen/Koehler It was down in chinatown All the cookies laid around Some were high and some were mighty low There were millions on the floor When a knock came on the door And there stood old smoky joe He was sweatin' cold and pale He was lookin' for his frail He was broke and all his junk ran out As he stood and looked around Nobody made a sound And then you hear old smoky shout Saying tell me where is minnie Where is minnie My poor minnie You are minnie Has she been here Kicking the gong around If you don't know minnie You don't know minnie She's tall and skinny She's tall and skinny She gets her pleasure Kicking the gong around Just tell her smoky joe Was here and had to go And as he departed And as he departed The curtains parted The curtains parted And there stood minnie Kicking the gong around You just tell her smoky joe Was here and had to go And as he departed And as he departed The curtains parted The curtains parted And there was minnie Kickin' the gong around
