[Spoken]

Thomas: Hello there, Geeshie

Wiley: Hello there, Slack

Thomas: What are you doing down here?

Wiley: I'm just down here trying to play these boys the new Cock Robin

Thomas: Let me hear it, then

I picked poor Robin clean, picked poor Robin clean

I picked his head, picked his feet

I woulda picked his body but it wasn't fit to eat

Picked poor Robin clean, picked poor Robin clean

And I'll be satisfied having a family

Lord, did that jaybird laugh when I picked poor Robin clean

Poor Robin clean, picked poor Robin clean

Oh did that jaybird laugh when I picked poor Robin clean

And I'll be satisfied having a family

Get off my money, and don't get funny

'Cause I'm a Negra, don't cut no figure

Then old Miss Sadie, she is my baby

(ET sings "Ah, Miss Sadie")

And I'm a hustling coon, that's just what I am

You bet I picked poor Robin clean...

I picked poor Robin clean, picked poor Robin clean

I picked his head, picked his feet

I woulda picked his body but it wasn't fit to eat

Picked poor Robin clean, picked poor Robin clean

And I'll be satisfied having a family

Won't be long now

I picked poor Robin clean, picked poor Robin clean

I picked his head, picked his feet

I woulda picked his body but it wasn't fit to eat

Picked poor Robin clean, picked poor Robin clean

And I'll be satisfied having a family
