Zoot Suit Riot

Zoot Suit Riot Lyrics

Who's that whisperin' in the trees
It's two sailors and they're on leave
Pipes and chains and swingin' hands
Who's your daddy? Yes I am
Fat cat came to play
Now he can't run fast enough
You had best stay away
When the pushes come to shove

Chorus:
Zoot Suit Riot (Riot)
Throwin' back a bottle of beer
Zoot Suit Riot (Riot)
Pull a comb through your coal black hair
(repeat)

A whipped up jitterbuggin' brown eyed man
A stray cat frontin' down an eight-piece band
Cut me Sammy and you'll understand
In my veins hot music ran
You got me in a sway
And I want to swing you dove
Now you sailors know
Where your women come for love

Repeat chorus

You're in a Zoot Suit Riot
You're in a Zoot Suit Riot
You're in a Zoot Suit Riot

zoot zie-ie
zoot zaa zoo zay

You got me in a sway
And I want to swing you dove
Now you sailors know
Where your women come for love

chorus (repeat)

You're in a Zoot Suit Riot
You're in a Zoot Suit Riot
You're in a Zoot Suit Riot
