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 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 little 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

[Incomprehensible]

All reet I'm tippin' in yeah, 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

And 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
