Well, on the outskirts of town, there's a little night spot.
Dan dropped in about five o'clock.
Pulled off his coat, said, The night is short.
He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quart.
Chorus
He hollered, Rave on, children, I'm with you!
Rave on, cats, he cried.
It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.
Let's all get Dixie fried.
Well, Dan got happy and he started raving.
He pulled out a razor, but he wasn't shaving.
And all the cats knew to jump and hop,
Cause he was born and raised in a butcher shop.
Chorus
He hollered, Rave on, children, I'm with you!
Rave on, cats, he cried.
It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.
Let's all get Dixie fried.
Well, the cops heard Dan when he started to shout.
They all ran in to see what it was about.
And I heard him holler as they led him away.
He turned his head, and this is what he had to say.
Chorus
He hollered, Rave on, children, I'm with you!
Rave on, cats, he cried.
It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.
Let's all get Dixie fried.
Now, Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw.
He let us all know he wasn't scared of the law.
Thru the black cross-bars he tossed a note..
He said, It ain't my fault, hon, that I'm in here.
Chorus
He hollered, Rave on, children, I'm with you!
Rave on, cats, he cried.
It's almost dawn, and the cops ain't gone.
And I been Dixie fried.
