"Trombone Butter" lyrics
"Trombone Butter"
I know a fool that blows a horn
He came from way down south
I ain't heard such blowin' since I was born
When that trombone's in his mouth
Well, he wails and moans
He grunts and groans
He moans just like a cow
Nobody else can't do his stuff
'Cause he won't teach 'em how
Oh Butter, blow that thing
Play that slide trombone
Make it talk, make it sing
Lawdy, where did you get that tone?
If Gabriel knows how you could blow
He'd let you lead his band, I know
Oh Butter, blow that thing
Play that slide trombone
Oh Butter, do you know
You sure blows a horn
Yes I swing to and fro
When you are carrying on
You ain't seen such shaking hips
Like when that horn is to your lips
Oh Butter, blow that thing
That slide trombone
Oh Butter, make it sing
That slide trombone
You'll even make a king
Get down off his throne
And he would break a leg, I know
Mm, doing the mambo
Oh Butter, blow that thing
Blow that slide trombone
Oh Butter, Lawd
Blow that slide trombone

Why must you be mean to me?
Gee, honey, it seems to me
You love to see me cryin'

You don't and I'm left alone
