Manhattan Transfer - Blue Serenade Lyrics
Hot to trot shot,Out to the hot spotUp to the nines with bodies in lineAn feelin so fineWhats to lose, go get em shoesYou take a train, you find aFascinatin rhythm in the rainAt every stop,You hear the clippin and the clopYou take a beat, you find aFascinatin rhythm in your feetIts so complete and you knowNothin can compete(you aint seen nothin, you aint seen nothin - yet!)You start to palpitate and theJeep is shakin the snakeLike a man upon the move for aDoll who doesnt hesitateBad johnYou hear the sound of a sad songAnd when the downtown folkAll shake it on out toniteJeep is jake and rakin in the takeBad johnYou are back where you belongShes such a sight tonite (hello)A caribana with a fan a top bananaIn a blue savanna moonA neck in neckYou tell her darlin get the checkYoure all electricUp in harlem in a swoonAnother dance with a with a tropical fanAnother chance withThe topical tanMean swimmin saxophonesTakin in the wimmin andShakin them bonesThe goat get in the fete beginNaughty in the body and set for sinA creole girl step up and sayNever say neverWith a casual swayTakin her time to come my wayBad johnYou are back where you belongAll reet Im tippin in, deed I doAnd while the goat is on the fireAnd every note is your desireYou approve her every moveYou in a spin (come on in)She wanna grab you by the duffAnd tell youHoney this is tough enoughFor sureTheres the door,What are you waiting for?And just us two,Serenading in blueYou take a frail who makes aCopesetic caper with her tailIm tellin you, she reallyPuttin on a doThe saxophones, you cant relaxWhen there is rhythm in your bonesYoure on the hoof,You raise a racket on the roofSome syncopation, makin with theEyes an arisin occasionMade it in the shade the way theyPlayed that satin serenade in blue
