Down on the Mississippi River in a knockdo* dive | |
I met a trumpet playin' character and Man alive! | |
When he began to rip, he really played it from the hip | |
And when I asked about his name, they told me, "That's 'The Lip'." | |
Yip yip yip yip | |
No one plays high notes like The Lip. | |
He's got a tone that's reminiscent of a boy named Bix | |
He plays so high that only dogs can hear him, just for kicks. | |
And when I asked him does he read | |
He says, "I'll tell you, hon, I read a little bit but not enough to hurt me none." | |
Yip yip yip yip. | |
No one plays high notes like The Lip. | |
I said The Lip. | |
She must mean Ray Anthony, huh? | |
I said The Lip. | |
No, man, she means Harry James. | |
I said The Lip. | |
You mean Louis Prima. | |
I said The Lip. | |
Noo, LIP-er-ace. | |
Yip yip yip yip | |
No one plays high notes like The Lip. | |
I never heard a trumpet player play a note so high | |
And I had to coax a lot before The Lip would tell me why | |
Then he took out a little jar that's labeled 'High-note Grease' | |
And he rubs a little every night on his mouthpiece | |
Yip yip yip yip | |
No one plays high notes like The Lip. | |
Listen here gal, are you kiddin' about all that 'high-note grease'? | |
No, man, I swear, he had ten in his valise. | |
Wha', you mean he goes to the drugstore and gets them from the medecine shelf? | |
No, some cat's told me he makes it himself. | |
Yip yip yip yip | |
Tell us the secret of The Lip. | |
Well..you take a buketful of steam | |
And a dozen rooster eggs | |
And you mix 'em up gently with a bushel full of goldfish legs | |
And ya hang 'em on a sky hook in the midnight sun | |
Mmm and then you fry them until they're done. | |
Yip yip yip yip | |
That's the secret of The Lip |
