Mammy Jinny's Jubilee 1913

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 27 Feb 2005

Tell me, brother, tell me
what's this all about,
ev'rybody's happy,
what is it they shout?
Ole Mammy Jinny's in town,
in a new gingham gown,
and all the blessed day long,
there's just been dancing and song.
Now my mem'ry serves me
and I'm feeling gay,
Mammy Jinny's eightytwo today.

Come on and shake your feet,
oh honey, shake your feet,
This is Mammy Jinny's Day,
just see that sweet birthday cake,
it took ten people to bake,
Honey, count the candles.
there's just eightytwo
how'd you like to have one,
some day, baked for you?
Each time the door bell rings,
a present some one brings,
at Mammy Jinny's Jubilee.

Come on and shake your feet,
oh honey, shake your feet,
This is Mammy Jinny's Day,
just see that sweet birthday cake,
it took ten people to bake,
Honey, count the candles.
there's just eightytwo
how'd you like to have one,
some day, baked for you?
Each time the door bell rings,
a present some one brings,
at Mammy Jinny's Jubilee.

Brand new red bandana,
around Mammy's head,
you couldn't miss the color,
it surely was red.
There she stood with a smile,
near the door all the while,
receiving guests who appear,
at the same door each year.
If you care for dancing and music and song,
put your glad rags on and come along.

Come on and shake your feet,
oh honey, shake your feet,
This is Mammy Jinny's Day,
just see that sweet birthday cake,
it took ten people to bake,
Honey, count the candles.
there's just eightytwo
how'd you like to have one,
some day, baked for you?
Each time the door bell rings,
a present some one brings,
at Mammy Jinny's Jubilee.

Come on and shake your feet,
oh honey, shake your feet,
This is Mammy Jinny's Day,
just see that sweet birthday cake,
it took ten people to bake,
Honey, count the candles.
there's just eightytwo
how'd you like to have one,
some day, baked for you?
Each time the door bell rings,
a present some one brings,
at Mammy Jinny's Jubilee.
