African Woman from Chicago

the play drummer boy played his beats
down in St.Louis at the juke joint everynight,
the dark chocolate drummer beat boy played not because he loved to,
but he played for the attention of the coco women that rhythmed to his beat,
but this one coco woman standing across the room didnt sway or tap,
she stood in silence and didnt move at all,
the woman who stood across the room was from Chicago,
she was a coco woman with naps in her hair,
curves in her hips with full lips,
she stood out from the crowd because everyone was dancing and she stood,
the play drummer beat boy noticed her and wondered why,
he played the beat of the drums louder and she didnt buldge,
so he stopped playing and everybody kept dancing as if he was,
he walked over to her and asked her,
sweetheart why are you so stiff,
she said ms coco dont hear anything she can dance to because she heard it all before,
the chocolate play drummer beat boy went back to his beats,
he started to beat a beat that he never played before,
he beat the drums for the coco woman that stood across the room,
he played the play drummer beat boy,
but this time he played it backwards,
everybody in the St.Louis junk joint stopped dancing and stood,
but the chocolate man only seen one soul in the room,
the coco woman started to feel the beat of the play in her body,
she felt her knees get weak,
the woman started to move her hips side to side,
she started to snap her fingers and move her feet,
the play beat drummer boy kept playing for ms coco and played louder,
she danced in the juke joint in St.Louis for the first time with her eyes closed,
she danced all night to the beat of the chocolate man all night,
when he stopped ms coco disappeared,
the play beat drummer boy looked around the room and couldnt find her,
he couldnt get the african woman from Chicago off his mind,
he anxiously waited to see if she was going to appear at the juke joint the next night,
he played the beat of the drummer boy and she didnt show her face,
he played the beat of the drummer boy backwards like she liked and she still didnt appear,
then he remembered she dont dance to stuff she heard before,
the chocolate man played a new beat off the top of his head,
the coco woman appeared and started to dance in the juke joint of St.Louis all the way from Chicago,
every night to get her to appear the play drummer beat boy would play a new beat for ms coco the woman;
