"Look, daddy, LET ME PULL YOUR COAT ABOUT A CAT, Elijah Muhammad - " I'm happy to be corrected but I think it means: "Listen to me, I'd like to tell you about someone called Elijah Muhammad" It sounds very much like a Jazz-style American slang from the 1930's or 1940's, Elijah M was from around this period, so that seems to roughly link in. "Jazz-style" may be a bit misleading perhaps, more realistically, I should have said African-American slang. Good luck. Stephen
