Juneteenth Jamboree by Gladys Bentley

If you really plan a plate,
Please set aside a date
Grab you duds and come with me
To the Juneteenth Jamboree

Man they really pitch a ball
Lot of wigs, jive and all
Everything is strictly free
At the Juneteenth Jamboree

Chorus
There's no shirking, no-one's working
Everybody's stopped
Gums are chompin', corks are poppin'
Doing the Texas hop

If you really wanna spree
Chicks galore I guarantee
Grab you duds and come with me
To the Juneteenth Jamboree

Instrumental solos

If you really plan a plate,
Please set aside a date
Grab you duds and come with me
To the Juneteenth Jamboree

Man they really pitch a ball
Lot of wigs, jive and all
Everything is strictly free
At the Juneteenth Jamboree

Chorus
There's no shirking, no-one's working
Everybody's stopped
Gums are chompin', corks are poppin'
Doing the Texas hop

Dressed to kill from head to feet
Baskets full of food to eat
You can't get this on your TV
The Juneteenth Jamboree
