Lyrics

Count Buddy:

Let me tell you about Bleeding Gums.

He was a scoobedy, scoobedy,

Scoobedy, scoobedy man.

With no business sense.

Etta Pryor:

Oh, look, don't you listen to him, 'cause nobody knew Bleeding Gums like me.

I went on tour with him,

Tour with him, tour with him,

Tour with him, tour with him,

Through the '90s.

Count Buddy:

Bad businessman.

Etta Pryor:

Yeah, through the '90s.

[Etta and Count start singing at the same time.]

Etta Pryor:

Went on tour with him,

Tour with him, tour with him,

Tour with him, tour with him,

Through the '90s.

Count Buddy:

Bad business, bad business,

Bad businessman.

Etta Pryor:

Havana, New Orleans, Manhattan,

And Tokyo,

Paris and Amsterdam.

In the '90s.

Count Buddy:

Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad,

Bad businessman.

[Etta, Count and Lisa start singing at the same time.]

Lisa:

Not helping, not helping,

Not helping, not helping,

Not helping, not helping.

Count Buddy:

He was a bad, bad,

Etta Pryor:

In the '90s.

Etta and Count:

[scat singing]

Lisa:

Oh, what's that? "Treasured Artist Records." His publisher. That's where we go.

Count Buddy:

Bad businessman.

Etta Pryor:

Through the '90s.
