Vaughn Monroe - The Joint Is Jumpin' Lyrics

Perhaps it was something that hit me
Perhaps it was something I ate
But out of the blue I dreamed on that you
And you said to me "Hiya get"
Millions have heard you play Chopin
The critics applaud and approve
But millions more would simply adore
To hear you get into the groove

You wont believe it, you'll think it's a dream
To hear the reef and ride on the beam
But when you hear trumpets give out a call
You know the joint is really jumping down in Carnegie Hall
Instead of Strauss they play Irving Berlin
Instead of Brahms it's Begin the Beguine
Those classic khakis are due for a fall
You know the joint is really jumping down in Carnegie Hall
They playing ta-ti-li-ara, ta-ti-li-ara with Shostakovich
Ta-ti-li-ara, ta-ti-li-ara, Mozart and Bach
Ta-ti-li-ara

And they don't know which
Cause anything can happen when the starting to rise
The feel harmonic with so dignified
But now they're groovy and starting to rise
Handel and Haydn are facing the wall
Because the joint is really jumping down in Carnegie Hall

They swing everything
With a ding, dong
And when the maestro gives them a beat, it's a repeat
That starts in the toot with a roo toot
That's the bit out of our reach
Even Toscanini it's getting happy, happy now

Tcha-Tcha, Tchaikovsky would really be heard
To hear him driving his piano concert
Beethoven is lucky he can't hear it all
Because the joint is really jumping
Joint is really jumping
Joint is really jumping down in Carnegie Hall
