Jook Joint Saturday Night

Jook joint's about to come alive! It's like a bee outside a hive; And when the hive begins to hum, It's like a dim and distant drum; And when the drum begins to beat, It's like a circus down the street; And when the street begins to fill, It's like a sudden summer chill; And just as summer simmers down, It's like the fireworks over town. Don't matter what the preachers say — This congregation's here to stay 'Cause when the jook joint comes alive Is when the Delta blues arrive!
