(Gramophone crackles. The band warms up in the background.) Lead Vocal: "Ladies and gentlemen... welcome to the finest little party in town. Leave your worries at the door... straighten that tie... adjust those pearls... Tonight we're dancing the old way... with a brand-new heartbeat. Band... are you ready? Then let's make some history... One... two... one, two, three... HIT IT!" Verse 1 Step right in, don't be shy, Raise your hands up to the sky. Champagne sparkling, lights aglow, Everybody steal the show. Polished shoes across the floor, Someone shouting, "One more!" Brass is burning, spirits high, Tonight we're teaching the stars to fly. Pre-Chorus Hear that rhythm calling your name, Once you're moving, you're never the same. Take my hand, come dance with me... This is where we're meant to be. Chorus Boom boom boom... hit that drum! Everybody, here we come! Swing it left, swing it right, We're gonna dance till morning light! Boom boom boom... hit that drum! Move your feet and join the fun! Raise the roof, let love begin, Feel that rhythm underneath your skin! Verse 2 Silk and satin, smiles so bright, Every heart is dressed tonight. Trumpets laughing, piano smiles, Let's get lost for a little while. Spin me once, then spin again, We'll forget just where we've been. Life's too short to stand around, Come and lose yourself in the sound. Pre-Chorus Every heartbeat finds the groove, Every soul begins to move. One more chorus, one more spin... Let the celebration begin! Chorus Boom boom boom... hit that drum! Everybody, here we come! Swing it left, swing it right, We're gonna dance till morning light! Boom boom boom... hit that drum! Move your feet and join the fun! Raise the roof, let love begin, Feel that rhythm underneath your skin! Saxophone & Vocal Play-Off Vocal: Can you feel it? Sax: (answers with a smooth riff) Vocal: Come on, take me higher! Sax: (longer, brighter phrase) Vocal: Now show me what you've got! Sax: (fast, playful solo) Vocal: Oh, that's the sound I've been waiting for! (The band crashes back in.) Breakdown Boom... boom... Can you hear that old heartbeat? Still swinging... Still smiling... Still dancing... Come on... One more time... Final Chorus Boom boom boom... hit that drum! Everybody, here we come! Swing it left, swing it right, We're gonna dance till morning light! Boom boom boom... hit that drum! Move your feet and join the fun! Every heart beats just as one, Keep on swinging till the night's done! Boom boom boom... hit that drum! Everybody sing along! Laugh a little, dance a little, This is where we all belong! Outro Boom... boom... Hit that drum... Boom... boom... One more time... Band: "Goodnight, everybody!" 🎷🥁🎺
