Hot to trot shot

Out to the hot spot

Up to the nines with bodies in line

An' feelin' so fine

What's to losego get ‘em shoes



You take a trainyou find a

Fascinatin' rhythm in the rain

At every stop

You hear the clippin' and the clop



You take a beatyou find a

Fascinatin' rhythm in your feet

It's so complete and you know

Nothin' can compete



(you ain't seen nothin'you ain't seen nothin' - yet!)



You start to palpitate and the

Jeep is shakin' the snake

Like a man upon the move for a

Doll who doesn't hesitate

Bad john

You hear the sound of a sad song



And when the downtown folk

All shake it on out tonite

Jeep is jake and rakin' in the take

Bad john

You are back where you belong



She's such a sight tonite (hello)

A caribana with a fan a top banana

In a blue savanna moon

A neck in neck

You tell her darlin' get the check

You're all electric

Up in harlem in a swoon

Another dance with a with a tropical fan

Another chance with

The topical tan



Mean swimmin' saxophones

Takin' in the wimmin' and

Shakin' them bones

The goat get in the fete begin

Naughty in the body and set for sin

A creole girl step up and say

"never say never"

With a casual sway

Takin' her time to come my way

Bad john

You are back where you belong



All reet I'm tippin' indeed I do

And while the goat is on the fire

And every note is your desire

You approve her every move

You in a spin (come on in)

She wanna grab you by the duff

And tell you

Honey this is tough enough

For sure

There's the door

What are you waiting for? 

And just us two

Serenading in blue



You take a frail who makes a

Copesetic caper with her tail

I'm tellin' youshe really

Puttin' on a do



The saxophonesyou can't relax

When there is rhythm in your bones

You're on the hoof

You raise a racket on the roof



Some syncopationmakin' with the

Eyes an arisin' occasion

Made it in the shade the way they

Played that satin serenade in blue
