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 here and a there
And he finally hit the floor
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
