[00:00:00] The Lip - Louis Prima

[00:00:00] Written by：T Klages/Vic Knight

[00:00:07] Down on the Mississippi river in a knockdo dive

[00:00:10] I met a trumpet playing character and man alive

[00:00:13] When he began to rip he really played it from the hip

[00:00:17] And when I asked about his name they told me

[00:00:19] That's the lip

[00:00:20] Yip yip yip yip

[00:00:23] No one plays high notes like the lip

[00:00:27] He's got a tone that's reminiscent

[00:00:28] Of a boy named Bix

[00:00:30] He plays so high that only dogs can hear him

[00:00:33] Just for kicks

[00:00:34] And when I asked him does he read

[00:00:35] He says I'll tell you hon

[00:00:37] I read a little bit but not enough to hurt me none

[00:00:40] Yip yip yip yip

[00:00:43] No one plays high notes like the lip

[00:00:47] I said the lip

[00:00:50] I said the lip

[00:00:54] I said the lip

[00:00:54] You mean louis prima

[00:00:57] I said the lip

[00:01:00] Yip yip yip yip

[00:01:03] No one plays high notes like the lip

[00:01:07] I never heard a trumpet player

[00:01:09] Play a note so high

[00:01:10] I had to coax a lot before

[00:01:12] The lip would tell me why

[00:01:14] Then he took out a little jar that's labelled

[00:01:16] High note grease

[00:01:18] And he rubs a little every night

[00:01:19] On his mouthpiece

[00:01:20] Yip yip yip yip

[00:01:23] No one plays high notes like the lip

[00:01:26] Listen here gal are you kidding about

[00:01:29] All that high note grease

[00:01:31] No man I swear he had ten in his valise

[00:01:35] What you mean he goes to the drugstore

[00:01:36] And gets them from the medicine shelf

[00:01:38] No some cat's told me he makes it himself

[00:01:41] Yip yip yip yip

[00:01:43] Tell us the secret of the lip

[00:01:47] Well you take a bucketful of steam

[00:01:49] And a dozen rooster eggs

[00:01:51] And you mix em up gently

[00:01:52] With a bushel full of goldfish legs

[00:01:55] And hang them on a sky hook in the midnight sun

[00:01:58] Mmm and then you fry them until they're done

[00:02:01] Yip yip yip yip

[00:02:04] That's the secret of the lip
