INTRO: C D G C

#1.
C
Say, there's a place in New Orleans,
     D
that serves fried chicken with turnip greens.
G
Crawfish bisque that treats you right,
                         C
and Papa Joe plays there every night.

#2.
C
A little dark haired cutie says, 'Step right in,'
    D
and you can bet a whole dollar she'd be your friend.
G                                                C
Everybody there has a comical time..down at Papa Joe's.

(INTERLUDE:SAX:)

#3.
C
Papa Joe's got a swinging band,
        D
you can rock and roll to Dixieland.
    G
The customers know it's the place to go..
             C
down at Papa Joe's.

(INTERLUDE:PIANO:)

#4.
C
A little waitress comes to set you down,
      D
she's got the best frog legs in town.
          G
There's a welcome sign hanging on the door,
   C                      G
so don't you be afraid to ask for more.

#5.
C                                         D
Now the only time Joe closes at night, is when 

the po-lice comes and turns out the light.
     G
They get a little mad but they don't fight..
             C
down at Papa Joe's.

(INTERLUDE:HORN SECTION:)

#6.
C
It's thicker than fleas on a monkey's back,
        D
but the folks down there, they like it like that.
     G
They live it up and they all come back..
             C
down at Papa Joe's.
