lirik lagu duke ellington – five o’clock drag
you’re “hep” to what’s buzzin’, cousin;
you’re up on what’s cookin’ too
don’tcha start relaxin’, jackson;
show what you can do.
the five o’clock drag is drivin’!
just look at those cats arrivin’
around about five for jivin’;
say, it’s a real “hep” treat.
the rhythm it blares is tricky,
a rhythm that scares an “ickie”;
it’s givin’ the square a mickie,
a touch of basin street
first, you start to zag,
and then you zig it,
and then you dig it
hip! hip! hip!
then you start to sh-g, and,
as you jig it,
you take a hop a jump,
or a skip.
five o’clock drag is jumpin’
the drummer man’s beat is thumpin’;
five o’clock drag is sumpin’
that really does “all reet.”
the five o’clock drag is drivin’!
just look at those cats arrivin’
around about five for jivin’;
say, it’s a real “hep” treat.
the rhythm it blares is tricky,
a rhythm that scares an “ickie”;
it’s givin’ the square a mickie,
a touch of basin street
first, you start to zag,
and then you zig it,
and then you dig it
hip! hip! hip!
then you start to sh-g, and,
as you jig it,
you take a hop a jump,
or a skip.
five o’clock drag is jumpin’
the drummer man’s beat is thumpin’;
five o’clock drag is sumpin’
that really does “all reet.”
