Black Bottom

I woke up shouting and screaming
From a dream that I had last night
And I just couldn’t work out the meaning for screaming
But it gave me such a hell of a fright
There was Boney and Clyde and Big Louie
Ma Baker and Babyface too
And Al Capone called me on the phone
And said Presley, what you going to do?
'Cos everybody’s doing the black bottom, black bottom
Done all I can but I just can’t stop 'em
Doing the black bottom, black bottom
They got me doing it too
I said Al, let me make a suggestion
He said no, let me make one to you
If they don’t stop by morning, I’ll give you this warning
I’ll have a contract out on you
Black bottom, black bottom
Done all I can but I just can’t stop 'em
Doing the black bottom, black bottom
They got me doing it too
Just as the morning was breaking
There was this incredible bang
And as the smoke cleared, we were shaking with fear
'Cos there stood Al Capone and his gang
And they were doing the black bottom, black bottom
Done all I can but I just can’t stop 'em
Doing the black bottom, black bottom
They got me doing it too
