The Lip - Louis Prima[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[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 '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 that's reminiscent of a boy named Bix[00:00:26]
He plays so high that only dogs can hear him[00:00:30]
Just for kicks [00:00:32]
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 not enough to hurt me none "[00:00:36]
Yip yip yip yip [00:00:40]
No one plays high notes like The Lip [00:00:42]
I said The Lip [00:00:46]
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]
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[00:01:13]
That's labeled 'High-note Grease'[00:01:15]
And he rubs a little every night on his mouthpiece[00:01:17]
Yip yip yip yip[00:01:20]
No one plays high notes like The Lip [00:01:23]
Listen here gal are you kiddin' about all[00:01:26]
That 'high-note grease' [00:01:28]
No man I swear he had ten in his be valise [00:01:30]
Wha' you mean he goes to the drugstore[00:01:34]
And gets them from the medecine shelf [00:01:36]
No some cat's told me he makes it himself [00:01:37]
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[00:01:48]
And you mix 'em up gently[00:01:50]
With a bushel full of goldfish legs[00:01:51]
And ya hang 'em on a sky[00:01:54]
Hook in the midnight sun[00:01:55]
Mmm and then you fry[00:01:58]
Them until they're done [00:01:59]
Yip yip yip yip[00:02:00]
That's the secret of The Lip[00:02:03]
