Viper Mad - Sidney Bechet

Just viper mad

Must have my fun

I’m never sad

It can’t be done

The people are talking

But I don’t care

I’m 21, far from done

I’ve just begun

Wrap your chops

'round this stick of tea

Blow this gage

And get high with me

Good tea is my weakness

I know it’s bad

It sends me gate and I can’t wait

I’m viper mad

Wrap your chops

'round this stick of tea

Come on blow this gage

And get torn with me

Good tea is my weakness

I know it’s bad

It sends me gate and I can’t wait

I’m viper mad
