Operator
Oh, let’s forget about this call
There’s no one there I really wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time
Oh, you’ve been so much more than kind
You can keep the dime
A long distance directory assistance, area code 212
And say, hey, A&R, this is Mister Rhythm and Blues
You said, “Hello” and put me on hold
To say the least, the cat was cold
He said, “Don’t call us, child, we’ll call you”
Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Now, do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you’re in love with him
‘Cause I saw you dancin’ in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I’m chipper all the day,
Happy with my lot.
How do I get that way ?
Look at what I’ve got :
I got rhythm
I got music
I got my girl
Who could ask for anything more ?
Rhythm is our business, rhythm is what we sell
Rhythm is our business, business sure is well
Now, if you blue, rhythm’s what you need
If you got rhythm, you’re sure to succeed
Rhythm is our business, business sure is well
Rhythm Is Our Business. Jimmie Lunceford
Get rhythm, when you get the blues,
Come on, get rhythm, when you get the blues.
A jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine,
It’ll shake all your trouble from your worried mind,
Get rhythm, when you get the blues.
Get Rhythm – Johnny Cash
Well, I know that you’re in love with him
‘Cause I saw you dancin’ in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
Well, you can rock it you can roll it
You can stomp and even stroll it at the hop
When the record starts spinnin’
You calypso when you chicken at the hop
Do the dance sensation that is sweepin’ the nation at the hop
Ah, let’s go to the hop
Let’s go to the hop, (oh baby)
Let’s go to the hop, (oh baby)
Let’s go to the hop
Come on, let’s go to the hop
Everybody’s doing a brand new dance now
Come on baby, do the locomotion
In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all-time loser
Headlong to his death
Oh, he feels the piston scraping
Steam breaking on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train it won’t stop
Oh no way to slow down
Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feeling groovy
Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy
When I’m feelin’ blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then I’m not so blue
When you’re close to me, I can feel your heartbeat
I can hear you breathing in my ear
Wouldn’t you agree?
Baby, you and me got a groovy kind of love
So, Lay down beside me
Love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurtin’ of this world away
Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat
And don’t ever wander away…
All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze
When I’m lying wrapped up in your arms
The whole world just fades away
The only thing I hear
Is the beating of your heart
'Cause I can feel you breathe
It’s washing over me
A woman in love can make you feel good
You’ll know what you’re living for
She’ll give you so much and keep you in touch
With all that’s worth living for
Oh once she gets in
Through thick and through thin
She’ll show you what living’s for
You might also like
The rhythm of love, it must go on
Can’t stop
The beat of your heart is like a drum
Will it stop?
I wanted you to know
That I am ready to go
Heartbeat, my heartbeat
I wanted you to know
Whenever you are around
Can’t speak, I can’t speak
Two of hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Two of hearts
I need you, I need you
Two of hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Two of hearts (two hearts)
Come on, come on
I need to feel your heartbeat, heartbeat
So close, it feels like mine
All mine
I need to feel your heartbeat, heartbeat
So close it feels like mine
All mine
I remember the feeling
My hands in your hair
Hands in your hair
I remember the feeling
Oh, the rhythm we made
The rhythm we made
When I’m feeling blue,
all I have to do
is take a look at you,
then I’m not so blue.
When you’re close to me,
I can feel your heart beat,
I can hear you breathing in my ear.
Wouldn’t you agree,
baby, you and me got a groovy kind of love.
When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime, night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away
