Messin' With The Kid

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Messin' With The Kid is a blues number originally recorded by Junior Wells and covered by The Blues Brothers on their first live album, giving a verbal plug for Wells just before singing it. "The Kid" is self-referential slang.

What's this I hear, there's a whole lotta talk

People say you're tryin' to quit the kid

Hey, yeh, tell me what you did

Call it what you want

I call it messin' with The Kid

Blues singer Eddie C. Campbell recorded a Christmas novelty song, also done in blues style, called "Santa's Messin' With The Kid":

Santa come' once a year, we all know

Didn't use my chimney, had a key to my do'

Oh, Lord, look what Santa did

(He's messin' with me)

Call it Merry Christmas?

I say Santa's messin' with The Kid
