Blue Serenade

Hot to trot shot,
 out to the hot spot
 Up to the nines with bodies in line
 an' feelin' so fine
 What's to lose, go get 'em shoes
 You take a train, you find a
 fascinatin' rhythm in the rain
 At every stop,
 you hear the clippin' and the clop
 You take a beat, you find a
 fascinatin' rhythm in your feet
 It's so complete and you know
 nothin' can compete
 (You ain't seen nothin', you ain't seen nothin' - yet!)
 You start to palpitate and the
 jeep is shakin' the snake
 Like a man upon the move for a
 doll who doesn't hesitate
 Bad John
 You hear the sound of a sad song
 And when the downtown folk
 all shake it on out tonite
 Jeep is jake and rakin' in the take
 Bad John
 You are back where you belong
 She's such a sight tonite (Hello)
 A Caribana with a fan a top banana
 in a blue savanna moon
 A neck in neck
 You tell her darlin' get the check
 you're all electric
 Up in Harlem in a swoon
 Another dance with a with a tropical fan
 Another chance with
 the topical tan
 Mean swimmin' saxophones
 Takin' in the wimmin' and
 shakin' them bones
 The goat get in the fete begin
 Naughty in the body and set for sin
 A Creole girl step up and say
 "never say never"
 with a casual sway
 Takin' her time to come my way
 Bad John
 You are back where you belong
 All reet I'm tippin' in, deed I do
 And while the goat is on the fire
 and every note is your desire
 You approve her every move
 You in a spin (Come on in)
 She wanna grab you by the duff
 and tell you
 Honey this is tough enough
 for sure
 There's the door,
 what are you waiting for?
 And just us two,
 Serenading in Blue
 You take a frail who makes a
 copesetic caper with her tail
 I'm tellin' you, she really
 puttin' on a do
 The saxophones, you can't relax
 when there is rhythm in your bones
 You're on the hoof,
 you raise a racket on the roof
 Some syncopation, makin' with the
 eyes an arisin' occasion
 Made it in the shade the way they
 played that satin Serenade in Blue
