Alphonso Jones
a gamblin' man
he had the swellest girl there was in Coontown
He bought a ring
had ev'rything
arranged to wed this pretty dusky maid.
The other eve' he called to see
this lady love who was to be his bride,
she said I'm sorry
we cannot marry
till you have learned the latest fad.

I wants a man who can play Ping Pong
I wants a Ping Pong man.
Don't want no cheap old gambler
a man who plays "the also ran"
Such common games as shooting craps
they is an old sing song
so if you want to 'sociate with me
just go and learn that game they calls Ping Pong.

I wants a man who can play Ping Pong
I wants a Ping Pong man.
Don't want no cheap old gambler
a man who plays "the also ran"
Such common games as shooting craps
they is an old sing song
so if you want to 'sociate with me
just go and learn that game they calls Ping Pong.

Alphonso bought a Ping Pong set
and worked from morn till night
to learn that Ping Pong;
six months had passed
he thought at last
that he could call and claim his fiancée.
The smile he had soon turned quite sad
the lady said that he had called too late
I'se got a man now
who cert'nly knows how
to play that mighty frisky game.

I wants a man who can play Ping Pong
I wants a Ping Pong man.
Don't want no cheap old gambler
a man who plays "the also ran"
Such common games as shooting craps
they is an old sing song
so if you want to 'sociate with me
just go and learn that game they calls Ping Pong.

I wants a man who can play Ping Pong
I wants a Ping Pong man.
Don't want no cheap old gambler
a man who plays "the also ran"
Such common games as shooting craps
they is an old sing song
so if you want to 'sociate with me
just go and learn that game they calls Ping Pong.
