This Is Fats, 1957
Written by Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew
Confusingly, this New Orleans romp has a chorus of "Ain't That a Shame," his big hit of a few years earlier. Never let it be said that Fats Domino didn't stick with a good thing. The lyrics here are strictly first draft nursery-rhyme: "There was an old lady from Houston / She had two hens and a rooster / Her rooster died, the old lady cried / My hens don't lay like they used to!" Someone else is happy playing in his corn (?), and some other lady has some stew. I guess.... that's also a shame?
