V. Nat Gonella
Recorded 27th February 1935



Let me hear that music start to play
Let me see those people start to sway
Mister rhythm man swing that band
Let me walk my blues away

Let me hear those trumpets in the groove
Let me feel my tootsies start to move
Mister rhythm man swing that band
Let me walk my blues away

Swinging along, let me feel it in my bones
And shake my shoes
Bring it up strong, make me shiver make me moan
And shout that’s good news

Let me hear that jungle rhythm roll
Let me see the throbbing in my soul
Mister rhythm man swing that band
Let me walk my blues away
Yeeehhh!

(Musical Break)

Mister rhythm man, just leave that band
And we’re gonna swing on out, yeehh!

(Scat singing to fade.)
