The Lip - Keely Smith/Louis Prima (路易斯·普利马)[00:00:00]
Down on the Mississippi River[00:00:06]
In a knockdo' dive[00:00:08]
I met a trumpet playin' character[00:00:10]
And Man alive [00:00:12]
When he began to rip [00:00:13]
He really played it from the hip[00:00:14]
And when I asked about his name [00:00:17]
They told me "That's 'The Lip' "[00:00:18]
Yip yip yip yip[00:00:20]
No one plays high notes like The Lip [00:00:23]
He's got a tone[00:00:27]
That's reminiscent of a boy named Bix[00:00:28]
He plays so high that only dogs can hear him [00:00:30]
Just for kicks [00:00:33]
And when I asked him does he read[00:00:33]
He says "I'll tell you hon [00:00:35]
I read a little bit[00:00:37]
But not enough to hurt me none "[00:00:38]
Yip yip yip yip [00:00:40]
No one plays high notes like The Lip [00:00:43]
I said The Lip [00:00:47]
I said The Lip [00:00:50]
I said The Lip [00:00:54]
I said The Lip [00:00:57]
Yip yip yip yip[00:01:01]
No one plays high notes like The Lip [00:01:03]
I never heard a trumpet player[00:01:07]
Play a note so high[00:01:09]
And I had to coax a lot before[00:01:11]
The Lip would tell me why[00:01:12]
Then he took out a little jar that's labeled[00:01:14]
'High-note Grease'[00:01:16]
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 [00:01:27]
Are you kiddin' about all that 'high-note grease' [00:01:28]
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 [00:01:44]
Well you take a buketful of steam[00:01:47]
And a dozen rooster eggs[00:01:49]
And you mix 'em up gently with a bushel[00:01:52]
Full of goldfish legs[00:01:53]
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 [00:01:59]
Yip yip yip yip[00:02:01]
That's the secret of The Lip[00:02:04]
