Ching, ching, ching!
Woooo, awahoooo, wowoooo!
And one-two-three
Or four four time!
Hip-hop and be-bop,
And blues, piping hot - -
Slide your feet,
Shuffle to the beat,
Now, clap yo hands,
And Sliiiiide to the side!
It's the Tallahatchie Wang-dang Doodle!
The night comes to life...
The sounds of 'Goin' Home To Mississippi,
Or 'Grazing In The Green Grass'
And 'Down Home Blues'
Rock the night.
Under the hot lights, bugs fly,
And musicians sweat,
Horns and guitars pour out
Blue notes and hot jazz.
Red, white and blue lights bounce,
Spinning a web of movement on stage.
The moon rides low,
Dancing a two step
In a star filled sky.
An American flag and eagle fly overhead,
And, you know, I could swear
I saw that eagle wink at me!
