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

Written by：T Klages/Vic Knight[00:00:00]

Down on the Mississippi river in a knockdo dive[00:00:07]

I met a trumpet playing 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 the lip[00:00:23]

He's got a tone that's reminiscent[00:00:27]

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[00:00:34]

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

I read a little bit but not enough to hurt me none[00:00:37]

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]

You mean louis prima[00:00:54]

I said the lip[00:00:57]

Yip yip yip yip[00:01:00]

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]

I had to coax a lot before[00:01:10]

The lip would tell me why[00:01:12]

Then he took out a little jar that's labelled[00:01:14]

High note grease[00:01:16]

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

On his mouthpiece[00:01:19]

Yip yip yip yip[00:01:20]

No one plays high notes like the lip[00:01:23]

Listen here gal are you kidding about[00:01:26]

All that high note grease[00:01:29]

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

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

And gets them from the medicine 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 bucketful of steam[00:01:47]

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

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

With a bushel full of goldfish legs[00:01:52]

And hang them 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 the lip[00:02:04]
