There's a place in New Or -leans that serves fried chick -en with tur -nip greens,

Craw -fish bisque that treats you right and Pa -pa Joe plays there ev -'ry night,

A lit -tle dark haired beau -ty says "step right in" and you can bet a big dol -lar she'll be yo' friend,

Ev -'ry bod -y there has a tol -er -'ble time down at Pa -pa Joe's,

Oh the food there is so de -li -cious, it melts right in yo' mouth,

And the mu -sic you hear is played by the best band in the south.

Pa -pa Joe's got a swing -ing band you can rock -'n' -roll to Dix -ie -land

Cus -tom -ers know it's the place to go, Down at Pa -pa Joe's.
