recording of October 1945
from
Louis Jordan And His Tympany Five, 1939-1944 (The Chronological Classics 921)
I got those re-hee-hee, reconversion blues
I got those re-hee-hee, reconversion blues
Can't wait to buy a new automobile and a pair of two-tone shoes
I can walk right past my draft board and I won't get no dirty looks
I can go down to the grocer, without takin' my ration books
I got those re-hee-hee, reconversion blues
I can drive in a gas station and get most anything I choose
I forgot the taste of bacon, butter and whipped cream cake
At night I wake up screamin', "Bring me a nice fat juicy steak!"
I got those re-hee-hee, reconversion blues
I'm gonna buy my baby nylons, all the nylons she can use
No more fish on Tuesdays, I get plenty meat in my stews
There's plenty of cigarettes and chewing gum and nuts and bolts and screws
I got those re-hee-hee, reconversion blues
If someone say "for the duration", brother, I'm gonna blow my fuse
I'm gonna reconvert my baby with a house and a diamond ring
We're gonna lock our door this winter and we won't come out till spring
I got those re-hee-hee, reconversion blues
I'm gonna buy a brand new radio, that don't know how to get the latest news
Here is the table of contents.
