about

"The funny folk tale is set to a variety of traditional dance rhythms, including Southern Italian, country waltz, Cajun two-step and, of course, the polka. Like Texas-based Grammy winners Brave Combo — and thanks largely to the grand chops of Caravan of Thieves violinist Nicole Scorsone and Electrolytes leader/saxophonist Linda Everswick — the ethnic, rootsy Porchistas demonstrate how those traditional dance styles relate to each other and can be arranged in a way that blends fairly seamlessly... one of my all-time favorite songs by a local band" (Bob Makin, New Jersey Stage Magazine).

lyrics

Driving to key west from NJ with my honey

singing songs along the way for food and gas money

stopped off in nashville recorded in a booth

in memphis we got naked in elvis's bedroom


rode high into nola, think we got pulled over

with a buck naked cop when we woke in pensicola

dropped the man in tallahassee

overheat in okeechobbee

ran into abe vigoda drinking alcoholic chocolate sodas

(chorus)

Abe Vigoda

drinkin Alkychodas at the Okeechobee Inn

a bunch of drunk hicks in a big old lake

and fish eatin gator steak (2x)


snagged a bag of grass and some chodees for the road

did the polka in miami on white sand and snow

trippin all the way to the florida keys

followed by some UFOs


7 mile bridge piss in islamorada

slapped a barracuda drinkin a colada

Pulled up to the pier and what do you know

ran into abe vigoda drinking alcoholic chocolate sodas

(chorus)


Abe vigoda drinkin alkychodas

on the pier at mallory square

doin the polka with a fortune teller

and a big ole grizzly bear


Abe Vigoda

drinkin Alkychodas at the Okeechobee Inn

a bunch of drunk hicks in a big old lake

and fish eatin gator steak


solo on verse 1 Stanza – solo on chorus

AM 16 bars – Abe Vigoda Rap

Chorus

Abe vigoda drinkin alkychodas

on the pier at mallory square

and a big ole grizzly bear

Abe vigoda drinkin alkychodas
