1) love that video
2)a song....
Bessie Smith – There’ll Be A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight (old lyrics with original spellings)

Come along, get you ready Wear your bran’, bran’ new gown
For there’s gwine to be a meeting In that good, good old town
Where you knowded everybody And they all knowded you
And you’ve got a rabbit’s foot To keep away de hoo-doo.

When you hear that the preaching does begin
Bend down low for to drive away your sin
And when you gets religion, you want to shout and sing
There’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight, My baby

Chorus:
When you hear dem a bells go ding ling ling
All join ‘round and sweetly you must sing
And when the verse am through in the chorus all join in
There’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight.........

Another bit of ethnic versifying she might remember:

‘Well come on around
I got a razor proof collar and a bullet proof vest,
an a big 44 that’s gonna make you holla’
