Old Bill Brown was known around town

For slippin' around at night

He'd grab a jug and cut a rug

Man, he'd really live it up right

Oh, Suzy Brown finally found

That old Bill was really hip

She took a bucket of banana peelings

And throwed 'em on the step

And he went slippin' around

Yes, he went slippin' around

He went slippin' around

Yes, he went slippin' around

With a [Incomprehensible] here and a [Incomprehensible] there

And he finally hit the floor

[Incomprehensible] never been done

And it won't be done no more

And he went slippin' around

Yes, he went slippin' around

Bill sat in on a game one night

Not her didn't intend to stay

His money flew from left to right

And he finally went away

His shoes went here and his shirt went there

And he finally lost his coat

He come home about daylight

And in a borrowed peticoat

And he went slippin' around

Yes, he went slippin' around

He went slippin' around

Yes, he went slippin' around

His wife said, "Bill, is that you there comin' in at this hour?"

Then she let fly between his eyes

With porpoise hearted flour

And he went slippin' around

Yes, he went slippin' around

Bill, he had a gal downtown

His ever loving best

He didn't dream when he met her

She would get him in a mess

His wife found out

That she was not idol of his life

She put a stop to that ratpick

With a great big butcher knife

Now he's through slippin' around

Yes, he's through slippin' around

He through slippin' around

Yes, he through slippin' around

His spirit rose up from the grave

And went floating through the air

He heard a voice from down below saying

'You ain't goin' up there, 'cause'

You've been slippin' around

Yes, you've been slippin' around

Yes, you've been slippin' around
