Charlie Green Play That Slide Trombone

I know a fool who blows a horn

He comes from way down South

Oh yeah and you ain't seen such 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 such blowin'

Since you been born

'Cause he won't show 'em how

Oh, Charlie, won't you play that thing?

I mean the slide trombone

Make it talk, make it sing

I mean the slide 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 the slide trombone

Oh, Charlie, play that thing

I mean the slide trombone

Make it talk, make it sing

I mean the slide trombone

Now you ain't seen such movin' hips

Like when the trombone's to his lip

Charlie Green, play that thing

I mean the slide trombone

Oh, yeah, I mean the slide trombone
