Kickin' the Gong Around
Cab Calloway
Kickin' the Gong Around
It was down in Chinatown,
All the cokies 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;
Nobody made a sound,
As he stood and looked around,
And then you hear old Smoky shout:
Saying, "Tell me where is Minnie?
My poor Minnie!
Has she been here,
Kicking the gong around?"
"If you don't know Minnie,
She's tall and skinny,
She gets her pleasure
Kicking the gong around!"
[Scat chorus]
"Just tell her Smoky Joe
Was here and had to go."
And as he departed,
The curtains parted,
And there stood Minnie
Kicking the gong around!

It was down in Chinatown,
All the cokies laid around,
Some were high and some were mighty low;
Count 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:
"Tell me where is Minnie?
Oh, I want my little Minnie!
Has she been here,
Kicking the gong around?"
"If you don't know Minnie,
Oh, she's tall and skinny,
She gets her pleasure
Kicking the gong around!"
[Scat chorus]
"You just tell her Smoky Joe
Was here and had to go."
And as he departed,
The curtains parted,
And there was Minnie
Kickin' the gong around!
Dando uma Chacoalhada
Era lá em Chinatown,
Todos os caras deitados por aí,
Uns estavam chapados e outros bem pra baixo;
Contando milhões no chão
Quando alguém bateu na porta,
E lá estava o velho Smoky Joe.
Ele estava suando, frio e pálido,
Procurando pela sua mina,
Ele estava quebrado e todo seu estoque acabou;
Enquanto ele olhava ao redor,
Ninguém fez um som,
E então você ouve o velho Smoky gritar:
Dizendo: "Me diz onde está a Minnie?
Minha pobre Minnie!
Ela esteve aqui,
Dando uma chacoalhada na vida?"
"Se você não conhece a Minnie,
Ela é alta e magra,
Ela se diverte
Dando uma chacoalhada na vida!"
[Refrão de scat]
"Só diz pra ela que o Smoky Joe
Esteve aqui e teve que ir embora."
E enquanto ele se despedia,
As cortinas se abriram,
E lá estava a Minnie
Dando uma chacoalhada na vida!
