《The Lip》歌词

[00:00:00] The Lip - Louis Prima (路易斯·普利马)/Kelly Smith

[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 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

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

[00:00:24] The Lip

[00:00:27] 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 just for kicks

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

[00:00:35] He says I'll tell you hon I read a little bit

[00:00:38] But not enough to hurt me none

[00:00:40] Yip yip yip yip

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

[00:00:44] 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

[00:00:54] I said The Lip

[00:00:55] 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

[00:01:04] The Lip

[00:01:07] I never heard a trumpet player play a note so high

[00:01:11] And I had to coax a lot before The Lip would tell me why

[00:01:14] Then he took out a little jar that's labeled 'High-note Grease'

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

[00:01:21] 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 that 'high-note grease'

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

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

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

[00:01:46] 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 a bushel full of goldfish legs

[00:01:55] And ya hang 'em 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

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

[00:02:05] The Lip
