[INTRO — 0:00–0:25 | INSTRUMENTAL] [Vinyl crackle — upright bass — muted trumpet — brushed snare] [Vocal chops:] “Psst—psst…” “Hey, doll…” “C'mon…” “C'mon—c'mon…” Ba-da-bap! Ba-da-bap! “Shhh… keep it low…” [VERSE 1 — 0:25–0:55] Tick-tock, tap-tap, Slip through the door, Nickel bag in hand, Two knocks stop, then add one more. Low light, too bright, Smoke curls high, Hat tilt, grin wide, Beat-red eyes. Weed joint buzzin', Brass band hot, Bootleg jive'in, Give it all you got. Ooh—There she goes. No one knows!! There she—there she—there she goes! [PRE-CHORUS — 0:55–1:15] Puff-puff— Who's there? Step-step— Don't care! Round we go, Heel-to-toe, Loose as a goose At the picture show. “Whoa—nelly!” “Whoa—nelly!” “Whoa-oh-oh!” [CHORUS — 1:15–1:45] Swing it to the left— Left! Slide it to the right— Right! Cut that rug, doll, Through the haze filled night. Snap-snap fingers, Tap-tap shoes, Got that funny feeling— Ain't got the time for no blues... Ha-ha— Ha! Well, hey now— Hey! We're ridin' that rhythm 'As the jazz-man plays... Ba-da-bap—ba-da-BOW! Ba-da-bap—ba-da-BOW! [POST-CHORUS — 1:45–2:00] Dizzy—dizzy—Dizzy Hizzy! Loopy—loopy—Loopy Doopy! Who put that floor Under my shoes? [Statement tone] Not me! [Softer Question tone] Not you...? “Again!” “Again!” “Again—again—again!” [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK — 2:00–2:25] [Hot trumpet solo / clarinet squeals / walking bass / slapstick percussion] [Chopped vocals:] “Keep it movin'…” “Movin'…” “Movin'…” “Don't stop…” “Don't—don't—don't stop…” Ba-da-da-da—BAP! Ba-da-da-da—BAP! [VERSE 2 — 2:25–2:55] Clock strikes three, Feels like nine, Band doing cartwheels Round the neon signs. Room gets wide, Then mighty small, Thought I saw a rabbit Dancing on that wall. Laugh too loud, Talk too slow, Had a million-dollar thought But where did it go. “Say, bud'tender—” “Yeah?” “What was I saying?” HA-ha-ha-haa! [PRE-CHORUS 2 — 2:55–3:15] Eyes half-shut, Smile wide open, Tongue gets tangled, Words start chokin'. Lean back— Lean back! Let that bassline roll. Tick-tock— Tip-top! Lose a little control. Shimmy-shimmy-shimmy Shake! Shimmy-shimmy-shimmy Sha-ha-ha-ha!.. [CHORUS 2 — 3:15–3:45] Swing it to the left— Left! Slide it to the right— Right! Cut that rug, doll, Through the haze filled night. Snap-snap fingers, Tap-tap shoes, Got that funny feeling— Ain't got the time for no blues... Ha-ha— Ha! Well, hey now— Hey! We're ridin' that rhythm 'While the jazz-man sways. Ba-da-bap—ba-da-BOW! Ba-da-bap—ba-da-BOW! [BREAKDOWN — 3:45–4:00] Easy… Easy… Shhh… Don't let the fuzz Hear that brass. Low… Low… Low... Let it roll… Roll… Roll… ROLL! Then— BA-DA-BAP! [FINAL CHORUS — 4:00–4:13] Tip-top— Tap-tap— Round we go! Low light— TOO—BRIGHT Let it flow! One more— Two more— Everybody... Go Go! GOOO...! [OUTRO — 4:12–4:20 | INSTRUMENTAL] [Trumpet riff / clarinet / bass walking away] “Easy, doll…” “Easy…” "pssst..." “Same time tomorrow?” “Shhh…” [VINYL STOP]
