Slap Me Five, Jack Frost

(1966 – Soul / R&B Christmas single) --- (Intro – Horns & Organ) 🎶 Bah-dah! Bah-dah! Frosty funk, y’all! Yeah… ha ha! Come on now! --- (Verse 1) It’s cold outside but the fire’s hot, Got the vinyl spinnin’ and the cocoa pot. The snow’s tappin’ rhythms on my windowpane, But Jack Frost’s out there doin’ his thang. He’s got that shimmer, that cool blue style, Blowin’ on the glass with a frosty smile. I said, “Jack, my man, don’t you be so sly,” He winked and said, “Cool cat, stay fly!” --- (Chorus) 🎵 Slap me five, Jack Frost, You the coolest cat in town! Blowin’ that ice, lookin’ so nice, Spreadin’ that snow around! Slap me five, Jack Frost, You make the winter swing, Keepin’ it chill with a soulful thrill, Man, you make December sing! 🎵 --- (Verse 2) Now Mrs. Claus in her curlers, hummin’ “Silent Night,” While Santa’s doin’ the shimmy ‘neath the pale moonlight. The elves got rhythm, the reindeer groove, Even Rudolph found his Christmas move! But Jack Frost’s jam is the one I crave, With his frosty horn and his icy wave. He don’t melt down, he just chills all day, Turnin’ every street into a Motown sleigh! --- (Chorus) 🎵 Slap me five, Jack Frost, You the coolest cat in town! Blowin’ that ice, lookin’ so nice, Spreadin’ that snow around! Slap me five, Jack Frost, Yeah, you make the season shine, Lay that frost down smooth and fine, Turn that cold to sweet divine! 🎵 --- (Bridge – call & response) Singer: Jack Frost, what’s that you play? Band: A little cool breeze on Christmas Day! Singer: Jack Frost, how you stay so fly? Band: Just a little chill, baby, don’t ask why! (Horn break – baritone sax takes a solo, then trumpet joins) --- (Verse 3) Now when the snow hits your block tonight, And the streetlights glow in that silver light, If you hear a whistle and a funky beat, That’s Jack Frost dancin’ in the street! So pour some cocoa, turn the dial, Put on your hat with that vintage style. He’s the man of the hour, cool and kind, Bringin’ Christmas funk to your peace of mind! --- (Final Chorus) 🎵 Slap me five, Jack Frost, You the legend of the cold! Blowin’ sweet tunes ‘cross the frosty dunes, Like a soulman made of gold! Slap me five, Jack Frost, From Memphis to the Pole, Keep that groove alive tonight, You got that icy soul! 🎵 --- (Outro – Horns & Fade) 🎶 Ba-da-da! Ba-da-da! Slap me five, Jack Frost… Keep it cool, keep it kind… Yeah, you the groove of wintertime! (Organ fades out, sleigh bells shimmer)
