_ _ _ I do a little song, people,
Red Chef, we all call it
A Little Song I did in a
Broadway show for two years
and a half, doing the same
thing every night.
_ That's the truth, too.
They were rehearsing the show
down in [A] Broadway there in New
York, and they had about 12 guys
down there trying to learn
[E] a special part they want
with the harmonica.
Now one of them didn't make the grade.
So a fellow named Will
Rolto, I called up Sonny Terry
and maybe he can do it.
So they called me up and said,
Come down, Sonny, you got a
part in the show for you, man.
I said, Oh, yes, I'll be
right down there.
So I got [G#] down there and this
guy walked up to me and said,
Sonny, one thing you got to do, man.
I said, What is that, man?
He said, You got to play the
same song in the same way
every night, man.
I said, I [G] can't do it, man.
He said, You got to [F#] do it,
man.
I said, I can't, man.
[G] You got to do it, man.
I can't, man.
So he kept telling me over
and over, I said, Man, I'm
used to playing the way I want to.
He said, Oh, no, [N] not on this show.
He said, You got to stick to
the script, buddy.
So he kept telling me over
and over what I had to do,
and I kept telling him what
I couldn't do, you know.
So he made me a little angry with him.
I got up and asked him a question.
I said, Man, how much you
got to pay me for this part?
He said, You want me to know.
So he up and told me.
I said, Oh, yes.
I'll do it the same way. _ _ _
He didn't even have [G#] no
title to it, nothing.
I went down with a few
hollerin' and whoopin' like
y'all hear me do right now,
and they wrote it [E] up and put
it in the show.
But now I'm about to show
Claude me and Brian McGee
recording called The Hoot
and the Blues.
Watch out, here we go. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Good God, man.
This is a good song. _ _ _

know it's seven, [Em] eight
different kind of hoops
in this [E] thing.
For our fans, all of them
got to sound like one.
