The Joint Is Jumpin'

Lyrics

They have a new expression along old Harlem way
 That tells you when a party is ten times more than gay
 To say that things are jumpin' leaves not a single doubt
 That everthing is in full swing when you hear someone shout
 Here 'tis
 The joint is jumpin'
 It's really jumpin'
 Come in, cats, and check your hats
 I mean this joint is jumpin'
 The piano's thumpin',
 The dancers are bumpin',
 This here spot is more than hot
 In fact, the joint is jumpin'
 Check your weapons at the door
 Be sure to pay your quarter
 Burn your leather on the floor
 Grab anybody's daughter
 The roof is rockin'
 The neighbors knockin'
 We're all bums when the wagon comes
 I mean, this joint is jumpin'
 Let it be! Yas!
 Burn this joint, boy, yas!
 Oh, my, yas!
 Don't you hit that chick, that's my broad
 Where'd you get that stuff at?
 Why, I'll knock you to your knees, what?
 Put this cat out of here, what?
 Get rid of that pistol, get rid of that pistol
 Yeah, get rid of it, yas, yeah
 That's what I'm talkin' about, ha, ha
 Now it's really ready
 No, baby, not now, I can't come over there right now
 Yeah, let's do it!
 The joint is jumpin'
 It's really jumpin'
 Every Mose is on his toes
 I mean this joint is jumpin'
 Uh, oh, no time for talkin'
 This place is walkin', yes
 Get your jug and cut the rug
 I think the joint is jumpin'
 Listen
 Get your pig feet, bread and gin
 There's plenty in the kitchen
 Who is that that just came in?
 Just look at the way he's switchin'
 Aw, mercy, don't mind the hour
 I'm in power, I've got bail if we go to jail
 I mean this joint is jumpin'
 Don't give your right name, no, no, no, no
