FREDDY MORRIS MONOLOGUE

Written by Alan Paul

Ok, wanna settle down over there?

Hold the music there, hold it...

I've been asked by the Transfers to come out here and talk to you

I'm the raging Freddy Morris, I've been around a long time.

What's so funny?

I want to introduce you to a man

Who is a giant among giants in the business

When I say that, I mean he knows them all

I mean Frankie and Sammy, Tony and Lena,

Liberace, you know - the biggies...

I want you to make him feel really at home here

We're talking, we're talking about the king of dada

We are talking about the hippest talker in America

He's come a long way, I want you to make him feel really at home here,

He cost big bucks - let's hear it for him

L Dorado Kaddy, ok, here he is now....

BACON FAT

By Andre Williams

(Sax Intro) Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh --yeah...

Now when he went down in Tennessee,

All my friends they was glad to see me

Seen some down by the railroad track

Seen some earth dealers with their sacks on their back

They said now "Hey Man!" (hey man)

"We're glad to see you back -

we got a new dance they call the Bacon Fat.'

You go

Diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley wop wop

Have mercy, have mercy (wop wop, yeah wop wop)

'An then they go

Diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley wop wop

Help yourself, mama (wop wop, yeah wop wop)

'An then they go

Diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley wop wop

(wop wop, yeah wop wop)

Now then I went down to see my local deejay

The cat's name is Cain, he lives down Tennessee way

I said now "Hey man, what's this uh, new kinda jump -

Where you wind up twice 'n then you end up with a bump?"

He said now "Dig, Daddy!" (hey man)

"It's a natural fact, it's a sweepin' the South,

that thing the Bacon Fat."

You go

Diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley wop wop

Aw you give me a rise in my Levis, mama! (wop wop, yeah wop wop)

'An then they go

Diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley wop wop

Have mercy, have mercy (wop wop, yeah wop wop)

'An then they go

Diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley diddley wop wop

(wop wop, yeah wop wop)

I said now

(wop, wop)

That's right

(wop, wop)

One more time -

(wop, wop!)
