The Lip - Louis Prima (路易斯·普利马)/D.R[00:00:00]
Written by:Raymond Klages/T. E. Klages/Vic Knight/Sr Knight Vick[00:00:00]
Down on the mississippi river[00:00:06]
In a knockdo' dive[00:00:08]
I met a trumpet playin' character and man alive[00:00:10]
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[00:00:22]
He's got a tone[00:00:27]
That's reminiscent of a boy named bix[00:00:27]
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]
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[00:00:54]
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 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[00:01:10]
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[00:01:17]
Yip yip yip yip[00:01:21]
No one plays high notes like the lip[00:01:23]
Listen here gal[00:01:26]
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]
What 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[00:01:51]
Full of goldfish legs[00:01:53]
And 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 the lip[00:02:04]
