This song is about Humphrey Bogart in some joint he used to hang around in. When used towards someone other than Bogart himself, "Don't Bogart That Joint" means you should stop trying to get all the attention in the place to yourself. Because it's lame to do.
Well, not exactly. It IS a reference to Humphrey Bogart. To "Bogart a joint" is to let the "herbal cigarette" hang on your lips while it continues to burn down, without inhaling, thus waisting it's percieved beneficial effects.

Sorry to inform you but you are both wrong. Lowell George is rolling over in his grave as we speak. I'm sorry SpacePedestrian but you are wayyyyyy off in left field, actually you're not even in the bleachers, you're somewhere down the street. Hugles is in the ballpark but he forgot his glove lol. Ok for those of you who are marijuana illiterate ::coughprevioustwoposterscough:: allow me to break this one down:

"Joint" aka "Jazz Cigarette" aka "J"(noun) = A Marijuana Cigarette
"Bogart" or "the act of Bogarting"(verb) = while this is a direct reference to Humphrey Bogart it is more a reference to the mans actions than the man himself. Bogart was known to smoke cigars all the way down to the end. In this song "Bogart" is a verb not a known refering to smoking a "Joint" down to the end without passing it to the next person in the circle.
Ro-o-o-o-o-o-oll Another One = roll another "Joint" to smoke
Hit = a drag from a "joint"
I hope this has clarified some things for the people who may not be hip to "stoner lingo". Be on the lookout for more stuff like this in Little Feat songs as Lowell George incorporated quite a bit of it in his songs. If you truly believe that this song is about Humphrey Bogart looking for attention in a bar then you obviously don't need any marijuana you are clearly high enough. As for me i'm gonna go RO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-OLLLLL ANOTHER ONE JUST LIKE THE OTHER ONE and listen to Waiting For Columbus and since i'm alone at the moment you better believe i'm gonna "Bogart" this "Joint" my friends. F-E-A-T.
