BRUSSELS BLUES
(Rushing / Goodman)
Jimmy Rushing & Benny Goodman & Orchestra
Recorded during a live radio broadcast in the American pavillion of the
Brussels World Fair in 1958 (Special Version of Rock this Joint)
I'm going to Brussels, dig that Brussels fair
And I'm going to Brussels, dig that Brussels fair
Big shot, little shot, square's gonna be there
They're gonna jump and shout, we're gonna have a real good time
We gonna jump and shout and have a real good time
Benny Goodman gonna swing, if he doesn't change his mind
We gonna rock, we gonna rock this joint
We gonna rock, we gonna roll this joint
We gonna swing, we gonna swing this joint
We gonna rock, we gonna rock this joint
We gonna rock, we gonna swing this joint
We gonna rock, we gonna rock the fair
We gonna rock, we gonna jump the fair
We gonna rock, we gonna roll the joint
We gonna rock, we gonna sell the joint
We gonna rock, we gonna fire the joint
We gonna rock, we gonna rock this joint
We gonna rock this joint tonight
Going to Brussels, going to have a real good time
Yes I'm going to Brussels, and have me a real good time
Things gonna be all right, things gonna be real fine
Didn't spend a dime and I ain't got nothin' to lose
Didn't spend a dime and I ain't got nothin' to lose
Yes, and left me with those Brussels blues
We gonna rock, we gonna rock this joint... etc...
