I sang the revised lyrics for awhile until I got sick of people telling me they preferred Fat's original words and not my politically correct ones. I tried to tell them that Fats didn't write the lyrics and that Andy Razaf did the revision but to no avail. Oh where would we be without the general public.John Gill
