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

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

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

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

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

That's 'The Lip'[00:00:19]

Yip yip yip yip[00:00:20]

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

The Lip[00:00:24]

He's got a tone that's reminiscent of a boy named Bix[00:00:27]

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

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

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

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

Yip yip yip yip[00:00:40]

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

The Lip[00:00:44]

I said The Lip[00:00:47]

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

I said The Lip[00:00:50]

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

I said The Lip[00:00:54]

You mean Louis Prima[00:00:55]

I said The Lip[00:00:57]

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

Yip yip yip yip[00:01:00]

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

The Lip[00:01:04]

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

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

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

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

Yip yip yip yip[00:01:21]

No one plays high notes like The Lip[00:01:23]

Listen here gal are you kiddin' about all that 'high-note grease'[00:01:26]

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

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

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

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

Yip yip yip yip[00:01:41]

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

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

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

And you mix 'em up gently with a bushel full of goldfish legs[00:01:51]

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

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

Yip yip yip yip[00:02:01]

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

The Lip[00:02:05]
