lirik lagu ethel waters – at the new jump steady ball (cardinal 2036)
[verse 1]
now the jump steady club, they gave a ball
and it was held down at the new hope hall
all the bootleggers in the town
why, they brought that jump steady along
people came from far and near
to taste the different mixtures that they handled there
when the jazz band struck up “you’d be surprised”
everybody in the hall was google~eyed
[chorus]
they started serving beef, iron and wine
and everything in wood alcohol linе
chicago pop and la la de france
all kinds of hair tonic went ‘long with thе dance
jamaica ginger mixed with turpentine
with black molasses made it super fine
extract of lemon and ginger ale
sweet pertuna with shoe polish, then you’re bound for jail
copasetic was the password for one and all
at the new jump steady ball
[verse 2]
about twelve o’clock, i was feeling fine
to tell the truth i was out of my mind
but just before i lost my head
i saw them carrying six men out dead
they walked out the windows in the air
they called for music but no jazz band was there
everybody there was pleasure bent
you could get paralyzed for fifteen cents
[chorus]
they started serving beef, iron and wine
and everything in wood alcohol line
chicago pop and la la de france
all kinds of hair tonic went ‘long with the dance
jamaica ginger mixed with turpentine
with black molasses made it super fine
extract of lemon and ginger ale
sweet pertuna with shoe polish, then you’re bound for jail
copasetic was the password for one and all
at the new jump steady ball
