I know a fool who blows a horn He comes from way down South, oh yeah And you ain't seen some blowin' since you been born Like when a trombone's to his mouth He wails and moans, grunts and groans He can moan just like a cow And you ain't seen some blowin' since you been born Cause he won't show them how Chorus: Oh Charlie won't you play that thing I mean it's my trombone Make it talk Make it sing I mean it's my trombone If Gabriel knew how you could blow He'd let you lead his band I know Oh Charlie won't you play that thing I mean it's my trombone Chorus Now you ain't seen such movin' hips Like when the trombone do his licks Charlie Green play that thing I mean it's my trombone Oh yeah, I mean it's my trombone
