Also recorded by: Robin Garton & His Band







As recorded by DINAH SHORE:


Hey, look at that crowd around the door
And look at that crowded dancin' floor
There ain't no breathin' space
(This must be the place!)

The diner's are wearin' fancy bibs
For pickin' apart those juicy ribs
A smile on every face
(This must be the place!)

What a band, what a beat
Oh, my head, oh, my feet
I'll explode pretty soon
The joint is jumpin' right over the Moon

Been tryin' to find this place for months
They told me if I came here just once
I'd leave the human race
(This must be the place!)

(Instrumental Break)

What a band, what a beat
Oh, my head, hoh-hoh, my feet
I'll explode pretty soon
This joint is jumpin' right over the Moon

(Instrumental Break)

(What a band, what a beat)
(Oh, my head, oh, my feet)
(I'll explode pretty soon)
This joint is jumpin' right over the Moon

Been tryin' to find this place for months
They told me if I came here just once
I'd leave the human race
This must be the place

Hey, the joint is jumpin', it just won't stop
If somebody don't grab me, I'm gonna blow my top
Gonna fly to the Moon (Hey, do you wanna race?)
(This must be the place!)

As recorded by BETTY HUTTON and TENNESSEE ERNIE FORD:


BETTY:
Hey, look at that mob around the door
And look at that crowded dancin' floor
There ain't no breathin' space
Hey, Ernie, (Yeah, gal), this must be the place, (I think so)

ERNIE:
The diner's are wearin' fancy bibs (Uh-huh)
For pickin' apart those juicy ribs
A smile on every face
Hey, Betty, (Yeah, Boy), I know this must be the place

BETTY: What a band
ERNIE: What a beat
BETTY: Oh-hoh, my head
ERNIE: Get off o' my feet
BETTY: I'll explode pretty soon
BOTH: The joint is jumpin' right over the Moon

BOTH:
Been tryin' to find this place for months
They told us if we came here just once
We'd leave the human race
Hey, Man, this has gotta be the place
Aaaaagggggghhhhhhhhh!

(Instrumental Break)

BETTY: What a band
ERNIE: What a beat
BETTY: Oh, my head
ERNIE: You're still on my feet
BETTY: Man, I'll explode pretty soon
BOTH: The joint is jumpin' right over the Moon

BOTH:
Been tryin' to find this place for months
They told us if we came here just once
We'd leave the human race
ERNIE: Hey, Gal
BETTY: Yeah, Man
ERNIE: We know
BETTY: Let's go
BOTH: This must be the place!
