[Instrumental Guitar Intro]
[Verse 1]
Well, listen up folks, gather 'round the fire,
I'm Howling Joe, just a bluesman for hire.
In this ol' town, there's a plague, you see,
A nuisance buzzin' 'round, won't let us be.
[Chorus]
There's a wailin' man with his Ape Car loud,
Sharpenin' knives, fixin' kitchens, oh how proud!
Disturbin' the peace on a weekend's eve,
Annoyin' us all, can't hardly believe.
[Verse 2]
I work all week, earnin' my dime,
Longin' for rest in this troubled time.
But here comes trouble, rollin' down the street,
That racket's like thunder, can't get no sleep.
[Sad Trombone]
Ohhhhhhh please, ohhhhhhh please,
listen to my plea
[Instrumental Piano Solo]
[Bridge]
I've howled at the moon, begged for some peace,
But that Grinder's growl, it just won't cease.
Oh, how I wish for a quiet night's slumber,
But that wailin' man's voice, it tears like thunder.
But that wailin' man's voice, it tears like thunder.
[Verse 3]
So here's my tale of woe, sung with a sigh,
Howling Joe, beneath this midnight sky.
If you see the Arrotino, tell him from me,
Quit his racket, let us be free.
[Chorus]
There's a wailin' man with his Ape Car loud,
Sharpenin' knives, fixin' kitchens, oh how proud!
Disturbin' the peace on a weekend's eve,
Annoyin' us all, can't hardly believe.
Disturbin' the peace on a weekend's eve,
Annoyin' us all, can't hardly believe
[Outro]
So here I am, with my bluesy plea,
Howling Joe, won't you set us free?
From that wailin' man and his noisy spree,
Oh, Lord have mercy, hear my plea.
[Sad Trombone]
Ohhhhhhh please, ohhhhhhh please,
listen to my plea
