Tee Tot Song

Every mornin' ole Tee Tot come 'round

Settin'up his shoe shine box in town

And he'd sing "Good Mornin' Montgomery"

He'd sing "Good Mornin' Montgomery'

He'd sing "Good Mornin' Montgomery"

He's sing "Good Morinin' Montgomery, Alabam'

I'm so glad, don't be sad

There's no way you could feel bad

When this dear man with a tin pan

Started to play the blues!

Met this white boy little Hiram (Hank)

Took him in right under his wing

And he'd say, Tee Tot make it ring

And he'd say, Tee Tot make it ring

And he would laugh and he would sing

Could you please, "Show me"

"Show me"

"Show me, show me"

If I could play just like you

Why I'd give anything

Well he learned to play like the old man said he would

Little Hiram's got his name in Hollywood

I wish that Tee Tot could have stayed around

Then maybe Little Hiram would not have drowned

In all those things that does a boy

That wants to sing no good

Little Hiram's music's had a worldwide touch

And we all owe Mr. Rufus Payne so much

We got peanuts, fresh peanuts

Put your money in the tin cup

I can see them now with a big smile

Splittin' the days work up

Could you please, "Show me"

"Show me"

"Show me, show me"

If I could play just like you

Why I'd give anything

Yes, Mr. Payne and Hiram (Hank) loved each other so much
