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

[00:00:01] Written by：Vic Knight/T.E. Klages/Cole Porter

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

[00:00:09] 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

[00:00:19] 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

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

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

[00:00:31] Can hear him just for kicks

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

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

[00:00:37] I read a little bit but

[00:00:38] Not enough to hurt me none

[00:00:40] Yip yip yip yip

[00:00:42] No one plays high notes like the lip

[00:00:47] 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

[00:00:57] 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

[00:01:11] 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

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

[00:01:17] And he rubs a little every

[00:01:19] 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] Ah Listen here gal

[00:01:27] You kiddin' about all that 'high

[00:01:29] Note grease'

[00:01:30] No man I swear

[00:01:32] He had ten in big valise

[00:01:34] Why you mean he goes to the

[00:01:36] Drugstore and gets them

[00:01:37] From the medecine shelf

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

[00:01:39] 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

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

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

[00:01:52] A bushel full of

[00:01:53] Goldfish legs

[00:01:55] And ya hang 'em on a sky hook

[00:01:56] In the midnight sun

[00:01:59] Then you fry them

[00:02:00] Until they're done

[00:02:01] Yip yip yip yip

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