Letras de Kicking the Gong Around - Cab Calloway and His Orchestra

Kicking the Gong Around (original)

It was down in Chinatown
All the cokies laid around
Some were high and some were mighty low;
There were millions on the floor
When a knock came on the door
And there stood old Smokey Joe
He was sweatin', cold and pale
He was lookin' for his frail
He was broke and all his junk ran out;
Nobody made a sound
As he stood and looked around
And then you hear old Smoky shout:
Tell me where is Minnie?
(Tell me where is Minnie)
My poor Minnie
(Your poor Minnie)
Has she been here
Kicking the gong around?
If you don’t know Minnie
(If you don’t know Minnie)
She’s tall and skinny
(She's tall and skinny)
She gets her pleasure
Kicking the gong around
Just tell her Smokey Joe
Was here and had to go
And as he departed
(As he departed)
The curtains parted
(The curtains parted)
And there stood Minnie
Kicking the gong around
You just tell her Smokey Joe
Was here and had to go
And as he departed
(As he departed)
The curtains parted
(The curtains parted)
And there stood Minnie
Kicking the gong around

(traducción)

Fue en el barrio chino
Todas las galletas puestas alrededor
Algunos eran altos y algunos eran muy bajos;
Había millones en el piso
Cuando llamaron a la puerta
Y allí estaba el viejo Smokey Joe
Estaba sudando, frío y pálido
Él estaba buscando a su frágil
Estaba arruinado y toda su basura se acabó;
nadie hizo un sonido
Mientras se ponía de pie y miraba a su alrededor
Y luego escuchas al viejo Smoky gritar:
Dime ¿dónde está Minnie?
(Dime dónde está Minnie)
mi pobre minnie
(Tu pobre Minnie)
¿Ha estado ella aquí?
¿Pateando el gong?
Si no conoces a Minnie
(Si no conoces a Minnie)
ella es alta y flaca
(Ella es alta y flaca)
ella consigue su placer
Pateando el gong
Solo dile a Smokey Joe
Estaba aquí y tenía que ir
Y al partir
(Mientras se iba)
Las cortinas se abrieron
(Las cortinas se abrieron)
Y allí estaba Minnie
Pateando el gong
Solo dile Smokey Joe
Estaba aquí y tenía que ir
Y al partir
(Mientras se iba)
Las cortinas se abrieron
(Las cortinas se abrieron)
Y allí estaba Minnie
Pateando el gong
