lyrics

I know a place in town where the mood is just right
the sun’s always shining and the bands are outta sight
the Black Star Pirate Barbecue ( down at the Black Star Pirate Barbecue )
you gotta grab yourself a plate
and shake away your blues

You gonna jump in your car and don’t be late
said you can, bring your momma or a real fine date
down to the Black Star Pirate Barbecue ( down at the Black Star Pirate Barbecue )
you gotta grab yourself a plate
and shake away your blues

Aw now when I say stop don’t you move a peg
but when I say go you gotta, break your leg
at the Black Star Pirate Barbecue ( down at the Black Star Pirate Barbecue )
you gotta grab yourself a plate
and shake away your blues

There’ll be ribs and greens strewn across the floor
people drinking half gallons and shouting for more
down at the Black Star Pirate Barbecue ( down at the Black Star Pirate Barbecue )
you gotta grab yourself a plate
and shake away your blues

Mmm hmm
and do nothing but fuss and fight
eating them ribs till the broad daylight
down at the Black Star Pirate Barbecue ( down at the Black Star Pirate Barbecue )
you gotta grab yourself a plate
and shake away your blues

Oooooooh you know it’s all over when the lights go out
There ain’t nothing left to eat but beans and sour kraut
down at the Black Star Pirate Barbecue ( down at the Black Star Pirate Barbecue )
you gotta grab yourself a plate
and shake away your blues
ya shake away your blues
ya shake away your blues baby baby
ya shake away your blues
ya shake away your blues now baby
until they gone away
yeah
