The Lip - Louis Prima[00:00:00]
Written by:Vic Knight/T.E. Klages/Cole Porter[00:00:01]
Down on the Mississippi river in a knockdo dive[00:00:06]
I met a trumpet playin' character and man alive[00:00:09]
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[00:00:16]
They told me that's[00:00:18]
The lip'[00:00:19]
Yip yip yip yip[00:00:20]
No one plays high notes like the lip[00:00:22]
He's got a tone that's reminiscent[00:00:26]
Of a boy named Bix[00:00:28]
He plays so high that only dogs[00:00:30]
Can hear him just for kicks[00:00:31]
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 but[00:00:37]
Not enough to hurt me none[00:00:38]
Yip yip yip yip[00:00:40]
No one plays high notes like the lip[00:00:42]
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[00:00:53]
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[00:01:07]
Player play a note so high[00:01:08]
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[00:01:14]
That's labeled 'High note grease'[00:01:15]
And he rubs a little every[00:01:17]
Night on his mouthpiece[00:01:19]
Yip yip yip yip[00:01:20]
No one plays high notes like the lip[00:01:23]
Ah Listen here gal[00:01:26]
You kiddin' about all that 'high[00:01:27]
Note grease'[00:01:29]
No man I swear[00:01:30]
He had ten in big valise[00:01:32]
Why you mean he goes to the[00:01:34]
Drugstore and gets them[00:01:36]
From the medecine shelf[00:01:37]
No some cat's told me he[00:01:38]
Makes it himself[00:01:39]
Yip yip yip yip[00:01:40]
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[00:01:51]
A bushel full of[00:01:52]
Goldfish legs[00:01:53]
And ya hang 'em on a sky hook[00:01:55]
In the midnight sun[00:01:56]
Then you fry them[00:01:59]
Until they're done[00:02:00]
Yip yip yip yip[00:02:01]
That's the secret of the lip[00:02:04]
