[Verse] The bass is jumpin the horns are tight Spotlight's glowing in the velvet night My feet are sliding like a roller skate Every move's a story baby ain't it great [Chorus] Cuttin' a rug at the Cotton Club Swingin and spinnin till the night gives up Oh the jazz is hot the floor's alive Cuttin' a rug till the clock strikes five [Verse 2] The sax is wailin like a midnight train Trumpet's screaming in a wild refrain The crowd is clappin shoes hit the floor You can't stop dancin' when you're beggin' for more [Prechorus] Feel the beat feel the groove Every soul's got somethin to prove [Chorus] Cuttin' a rug at the Cotton Club Swingin and spinnin till the night gives up Oh the jazz is hot the floor's alive Cuttin' a rug till the clock strikes five [Bridge] The piano laughs while the drummer grins Every note's a secret every sound's a sin We're lost in the rhythm no need to confess When the night is magic and the room's possessed
