The Offbeat of Avenues

Lyrics

Big blues in the city, trailin' the
 main stroll (a kitty)
 Cup o' joe, get witty. At Deuce's
 Cafe, it's the mostest hideaway
 Mez muggles "Flip Zooty Flim
 Plant you now solid,
 dig you later Slim"
 First you crawl then you walk,
 scat then you talk
 Hear the cool, feel the heat of the
 Rhythm of the offbeat of avenues
 Help me, he blew his wig
 (Lay it on)
 He plays gutbucket doghouse dig
 (Chick is hot)
 For the hide-beater on the stand
 (Really gone)
 Hear that Gabriel's growl
 Break it up, beat it out
 This canary has got a frame
 (She can chirp)
 And some high-jiver
 knows her name
 (Digs his vine)
 Cats all friskin' their
 whiskers... Ow
 (Jam is on pops)
 I collar all jive, give me five
 (Now you dig, alive)
 So I know you're alive
 In the dim you've arrived
 Cruel lips, whisper baby
 Pulse of the neon, she's crazy
 Smokin' eyes, get hazy
 Like beauty to beast,
 "You're the most to say the least"
 (Do you have any) Monk,
 Cozy, Red, Yank, or Prez?
 Let's cut some rug gate these skins
 are a mess
 First you crawl then you walk,
 scat then you talk
 It's nirvana, it's attitude
 Rhythm of the offbeat of avenues
 Help me, he blew his wig
 (Lay it on)
 He plays gutbucket doghouse dig
 (Chick is hot)
 For the hide-beater on the stand
 (Really gone)
 Hear that Gabriel's growl
 Break it up, beat it out
 This canary has got a frame
 (She can chirp)
 And some high-jiver
 knows her name
 (Digs his vine)
 Cats all friskin' their
 whiskers... Ow
 (Jam is on pops)
 I collar all jive, give me five
 (Now you dig, alive)
 So I know you're alive
 (Bouyoot
 Two finger-like lickin'...
 This cat, is hot friskin'...
 The jam is on now)
 First you crawl then you walk
 (Man she's a blip)
 Scat then you talk
 (Ofay plays hip)
 Comp...
 Rest...
 Rhythm of the off beat...
 (Wacky Interlude)
 Help me, he blew his wig
 (Lay it on)
 He plays gutbucket doghouse dig
 (Chick is hot)
 For the hide-beater on the stand
 (Really gone)
 Hear that Gabriel's growl
 Break it up, beat it out
 This canary has got a frame
 (She can chirp)
 And some high-jiver
 knows her name
 (Digs his vine)
 Cats all friskin' their
 whiskers... Ow
 (Jam is on pops)
 I collar all jive, give me five
 (Now you dig, alive)
 So I know you're alive
 (Repeat and fade)
