Well on the outskirts of town there's a little nightspot

Where Dan drops in about five o'clock

Pulled off his coat said the night is short

Reached in his coat and flashed a quart

And hollered rave on the children he's with

Rave on cats he cried

It's almost gone and the cops are gone

Let's all get Dixie Fried

Well, Dan got happy and he started to rave

He jerked out his razor but he won't shave

And all the cats knew to jump and hop

Cause he was born and raised in a butcher shop

And hollered rave on the children I'm with ya

Rave on cats he cried

It's almost gone and the cops are gone

Let's all get Dixie Fried

The cops heard Dan when he started to shout

They all ran in to see what it was about

And I heard him holler when they lead him away

He turned his head and this is what he had to say

And hollered rave on the children I'm with ya

Rave on cats he cried

It's almost gone and the cops are gone

Let's all get Dixie Fried

Now Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw

He let us all know he wasn't scared of the law

And through the Black Cross Bar they threw a note to his dig

It said it ain't my fault Hon that I'm in here

And hollered rave on the children I'm with ya

Rave on cats he cried

It's almost gone and the cops ain't gone

And I've been Dixie Fried
