Well, on the outskirts of town, there's a little night spot.
 
Dan dropped in about five o'clock.
 
Pulled off his coat, said, The night is short.
 
He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quart.
 
CHORUS:
             D
He hollered, Rave on, children, I'm with you!
A
Rave on, cats, he cried.
     D
It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.
E                   A
Let's all get Dixie fried.

Well, Dan got happy and he started raving.
 
He pulled out a razor, but he wasn't shaving.
 
And all the cats knew to jump and hop,
 
Cause he was born and raised in a butcher shop.
 
CHORUS:
             D
He hollered, Rave on, children, I'm with you!
A
Rave on, cats, he cried.
     D
It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.
E                   A
Let's all get Dixie fried.

Well, the cops heard Dan when he started to shout.
 
They all ran in to see what it was about.
 
And I heard him holler as they led him away.
 
He turned his head, and this is what he had to say.
 
CHORUS:
             D
He hollered, Rave on, children, I'm with you!
A
Rave on, cats, he cried.
     D
It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.
E                   A
Let's all get Dixie fried.

Now, Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw.
 
He let us all know he wasn't scared of the law.
 
Thru the black cross-bars he tossed a note..
 
He said, It ain't my fault, hon, that I'm in here.
 
CHORUS:
             D
He hollered, Rave on, children, I'm with you!
A
Rave on, cats, he cried.
     D
It's almost dawn, and the cops ain't gone.
E                A
And I been Dixie fried.
 
 
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
