lirik lagu dave tull - clapping on one and three
[intro]
startlingly pretty
she’d told me she loved jazz
i was smitten
and asked her to my favourite club
as the players took the stand i saw them gawking
i was so thrilled to have this vixen on my arm
but now they’re playing and the girl just won’t stop talking
and my sense of boundless joy is quickly changing to alarm
but to keep her, my trepidation i will hide
that is unless she does the one thing i absolutely can’t abide (no no no no no)
[verse 1]
can’t take my eyes off my baby
though i’m startin’ to think
that jazz is mostly random notes to her ear
she talks right over the band
but then hеr kiss makes my concern just disappear
although shе don’t get the music
her smile is so bright
there’s almost nothing that could chase away me
[refrain]
but i won’t stay if my baby starts clapping on one and three
[verse 2]
a red flag when she calls the music “jazzy and hot,”
i try to shake it off and stay in the zone
then she says she loves miles, he’s her very favourite on the saxophone (oh man, oh no)
the way she moves keeps me swoonin’
so i’ll simply pretend she’s not singing way out of key
[refrain]
but i won’t stay if my baby is clapping on one and three
[verse 3]
i’m so in love
’cause she looks so fine
but even i’ve got to draw a line
her blue eyes i adore
but i say please baby can’t you clap on two and four?
she’s even cute when she’s shouting out “go man, go!”
so i’ll resist the temptation to flee
[refrain]
but i won’t stay if my baby keeps clapping on one and three
[bridge]
she’s such a beauty even when she’s acting like a buffoon
like yelling “anything by ella!” when she can’t name a tune
but this down beat clapping
well it just ain’t right
it drags a swing feel down
and it just makes her look so white!
[verse 4]
drive a car with all the tires flat
or play baseball with a broken bat
something wrong with my last meal
that’s how her backwards clapping is making me feel
i can’t believe that i’m thinking ’bout saying goodnight
but when jazz is listed on the marquee
[refrain]
i just can’t stay if my baby is clapping on one and three
(no no no no)
[outro]
i can’t stay with you baby
i can’t stay with you clapping next to me
i can’t stay with you darling
i can’t stay with you baby if youre clapping on one and three
