1
On the outskirts of town, there's a little night spot
2
Dan dropped in about five o'clock
3
Took off his jacket, said, "The night is short"
4
He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quart
5
He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with you"
6
"Rave on, cats", he cried
7
"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone
8
Let's all get Dixie fried"
9
Well, Dan got happy and he started raving
10
He pulled out a razor but he wasn't shaving
11
And all the cats knew to jump and hop
12
'Cause he was born and raised in a butcher shop
13
He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with you"
14
"Rave on, cats", he cried
15
"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone
16
Let's all get Dixie fried"
17
Well, the cops heard Dan when he started to shout
18
They all ran in to see what it was about
19
And I heard him holler as they led him away
20
He turned his head and this is what he had to say
21
He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with you"
22
"Rave on, cats", he cried
23
"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone
24
Let's all get Dixie fried"
25
Now, Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw
26
He let us all know, he wasn't scared of the law
27
The black dog barked, but the boy didn't flinch
28
He said, "It ain't my fault, hon, that I been pinched"
29
He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with you"
30
"Rave on, cats", he cried
31
"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone
32
Let's all get Dixie fried"
33
Now, Dan was the bravest man we ever saw
34
He let us all know he wasn't scared of the law
35
And I heard him holler as they led him away
36
He turned his head and this was what he had to say
37
He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with you"
38
"Rave on, cats", he cried
39
"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone
40
Let's all get Dixie fried"
41
Yeah, it's almost dawn, the cops ain't gone
42
And I've been Dixie fried
