| On the outskirts of town, there’s a little night spot
|
| Dan dropped in about five o’clock
|
| Took off his jacket, said, «The night is short»
|
| He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quart
|
| He hollered, «Rave on, children, I’m with you
|
| Rave on, cats», he cried
|
| «It's almost dawn, the cops are gone
|
| Let’s all get Dixie fried»
|
| Well, Dan got happy and he started raving
|
| He pulled out a razor, but he wasn’t shaving
|
| And all the cats knew to jump and hop
|
| 'Cause he was born and raised in a butcher shop
|
| He hollered, «Rave on, children, I’m with you
|
| Rave on, cats», he cried
|
| «It's almost dawn, the cops are gone
|
| Let’s all get Dixie fried»
|
| Well, the cops heard Dan when he started to shout
|
| They all ran in to see what it was about
|
| And I heard him holler as they led him away
|
| He turned his head and this is what he had to say
|
| He hollered, «Rave on, children, I’m with you
|
| Rave on, cats», he cried
|
| «It's almost dawn, 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
|
| The black dog barked, but the boy didn’t flinch
|
| He said, «It ain’t my fault, hon, that I been pinched»
|
| He hollered, «Rave on, children, I’m with you
|
| Rave on, cats», he cried
|
| «It's almost dawn, the cops are gone
|
| Let’s all get Dixie fried»
|
| Now, Dan was the bravest man we ever saw
|

|
| «It's almost dawn, the cops are gone
|
| Let’s all get Dixie fried»
|
| «Yeah, it’s almost dawn, the cops ain’t gone
|
| And I’ve been Dixie fried» |
