《The Lip》歌词

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

[00:00:06] Down on the Mississippi River in a knockdo dive

[00:00:10] I met a trumpet playin' character and Man alive

[00:00:13] When he began to rip

[00:00:14] He really played it from the hip

[00:00:16] And when I asked about his name

[00:00:18] They told me "That's 'The Lip' "

[00:00:20] Yip yip yip yip

[00:00:22] No one plays high notes like The Lip

[00:00:26] He's got a tone that's reminiscent of a boy named Bix

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

[00:00:32] Just for kicks

[00:00:33] And when I asked him does he read

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

[00:00:36] I read a little bit but not enough to hurt me none "

[00:00:40] Yip yip yip yip

[00:00:42] No one plays high notes like The Lip

[00:00:46] I said The Lip

[00:00:48] She must mean Ray Anthony huh

[00:00:50] I said The Lip

[00:00:51] No man she means Harry James

[00:00:53] I said The Lip

[00:00:54] You mean Louis Prima

[00:00:57] I said The Lip

[00:00:58] Noo LIP-er-ace

[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

[00:01:08] Player play a note so high

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

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

[00:01:13] Then he took out a little jar

[00:01:15] That's labeled 'High-note Grease'

[00:01:17] And he rubs a little every night 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 kiddin' about all

[00:01:28] That 'high-note grease'

[00:01:30] No man I swear he had ten in his be valise

[00:01:34] Wha' you mean he goes to the drugstore

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

[00:01:37] No some cat's told me he makes it himself

[00:01:40] Yip yip yip yip

[00:01:43] Tell us the secret of The Lip

[00:01:46] Well you take a buketful of steam

[00:01:48] And a dozen rooster eggs

[00:01:50] And you mix 'em up gently

[00:01:51] With a bushel full of goldfish legs

[00:01:54] And ya hang 'em on a sky

[00:01:55] Hook in the midnight sun

[00:01:58] Mmm and then you fry

[00:01:59] Them until they're done

[00:02:00] Yip yip yip yip

[00:02:03] That's the secret of The Lip
