Blue Serenade — текст песни (Manhattan Transfer)

Hot to trot shot,
out to the hot spot
Up to the nines with bodies in line
an` feelin` so fine
What`s to lose, go get em shoes

You take a train, you find a
fascinatin` rhythm in the rain
At every stop,
you hear the clippin` and the clop

You take a beat, you find a
fascinatin` rhythm in your feet
It`s so complete and you know
nothin` can compete

(You ain`t seen nothin`, you ain`t seen nothin` - yet!)

You start to palpitate and the
jeep is shakin` the snake
Like a man upon the move for a
doll who doesn`t hesitate
Bad John
You hear the sound of a sad song

And when the downtown folk
all shake it on out tonite
Jeep is jake and rakin` in the take
Bad John
You are back where you belong

She`s such a sight tonite (Hello)
A Caribana with a fan a top banana
in a blue savanna moon
A neck in neck
You tell her darlin` get the check
you`re all electric
Up in Harlem in a swoon
Another dance with a with a tropical fan
Another chance with
the topical tan

Mean swimmin` saxophones
Takin` in the wimmin` and
shakin` them bones
The goat get in the fete begin
Naughty in the body and set for sin
A Creole girl step up and say
never say never
with a casual sway
Takin` her time to come my way
Bad John
You are back where you belong

All reet I`m tippin` in, deed I do
And while the goat is on the fire
and every note is your desire
You approve her every move
You in a spin (Come on in)
She wanna grab you by the duff
and tell you
Honey this is tough enough
for sure
There`s the door,
what are you waiting for?
And just us two,
Serenading in Blue

You take a frail who makes a
copesetic caper with her tail
I`m tellin` you, she really
puttin` on a do

The saxophones, you can`t relax
when there is rhythm in your bones
You`re on the hoof,
you raise a racket on the roof

Some syncopation, makin` with the
eyes an arisin` occasion
Made it in the shade the way they
played that satin Serenade in Blue
