Verse 1
C 
Jelly,  (C major) it's funny, huh?
Us getting back together
after all these years.
You, me, Anita.
So, what can I get you?
Me and sweet Anita
got ourselves a cookin', Jelly.
The man can throw down
a mean batch of red beans, huh?
Jack, when are you going to realize
that the only thing a nigger can do for me
is scrub my steps and shine my shoes?
Why, Jelly?
Was I a nigger
when we was on the road together?
Why?
Was I a nigger
when no matter what you said or did,
I was by your side saying, Go Jellyman!
I'm with you all the way.
Call me a nigger again
and I'm going to kick your ass.
Jack. Jack, wait.
Jack, please wait.
Jack. Jack.
