[scat intro] |
|
They call it that Jersey bounce |
|
A rhythm that really counts |
|
The temperature always mounts |
|
Wherever they play, the funny rhythm they play |
|
It started on Journal Square |
|
And somebody heard it there |
|
He put it right on the air |
|
And now you hear it everywhere |
|
Uptown, gave it new licks |
|
Downtown, added some tricks |
|
No town, makes it sound, the same |
|
As where it came from |
|
So if you don't feel so hot |
|
Go out to some Jersey spot |
|
And whether you're hep or not |
|
The Jersey bounce'll make you swing |
|
[scat] |
|
How I love that Jersey bounce |
|
[scat] |
|
Oh come on and play that Jersey bounce |
|

|
They call it that Jersey bounce |

|

|
Whenever they play that Jersey Bounce |
|
It started on Journal Square |
|
And somebody heard it there |
|
He put it right on the air |
|
That tune called the Jersey Bounce |
|
Uptown, gave it new licks |
|
Downtown, added some tricks |
|
No town, make it sound the same |
|
As where it came from |
|
So if you don't feel so hot |
|
Go out to some Jersey spot |
|
And whether you're hep or not |
|
The Jersey bounce'll make you swing |
|
Ounce by ounce |
|
The Jersey Bounce |
|
Puts you right in the swing |
|
That Jersey Bounce |
|
It'll make you swing |
|
Give me that Jersey Bounce. |
