Boom‑Boom Reggie Rumble

Lyrics

(Crowd Cheering) Ladies and gentlemen… No… Forget that! Make some noise for… RAMBLIN’ REGGIE AND THE RABBITHOLE!! Whooooo!! One… Two… One, two, THREE!! ⸻ (Verse 1) Well I met Sweet Rosie by the old back door, She said, “Honey, I’ve seen your shoes before!” I said, “Maybe once… Maybe twice…” She just laughed, “Well, ain’t that nice!” Aw-wop! Bim-bam! Shake that floor! Ain’t nobody keepin’ score! ⸻ (Singer Talks) Hold on… Don’t start dancin’ yet… I ain’t even warmed up! Ha-ha! ⸻ (Band Introduction) That’s Swingin’ Sammy on the piano! Give ’em a hand! Look at those fingers fly! And blowin’ that big ol’ sax… That’s Jumpin’ Joey! Back there on the bass… Old Franky With The Old Hat! Still wearin’ that beat-up thing! Ha-ha! Bangin’ those drums… Crazy Boom-Boom Benny! If he hits any harder, We’re gonna need a new stage! And dancin’ all over creation… Jivin’ Jenny! Somebody keep her outta trouble! Ha-ha-ha! And I’m… RAMBLIN’ REGGIE!! ⸻ (Piano Solo) ⸻ (Verse 2) Little Jenny stole my tie, Big Lou winked with one green eye. Honey smiled at Jimmy Blue, Jimmy smiled at Honey too! Cherry pie, Lemon tea, Everybody’s sweet to me! Aw-bop! Scooby-lay! Dance your worries all away! ⸻ (Singer Forgets The Lyrics) Now it goes… Uh… Sugar… Honey… Cherry… … Wait… Franky! What comes next? … Ha-ha-ha! Never mind! Keep it rollin’! ⸻ (Call And Response) Reggie: Who’s feelin’ lucky? Crowd: WE ARE! Reggie: Who’s still dancin’? Crowd: WE ARE! Reggie: Who’s buyin’ breakfast? Crowd: NOT ME!! Ha-ha-ha! ⸻ (Saxophone Solo) ⸻ (Verse 3) Sweet Louise wore bright blue lace, Couldn’t wipe that grin off her face. Big Joe twirled with Rosie Red, Who was leadin’? Nobody said! Some liked sugar… Some liked spice… Some liked both… Now ain’t that nice? Aw-wop! Rock-a-ray! Boogie till the break of day! ⸻ (Singer Whispers) Come here… Real close… Don’t tell Swingin’ Sammy… … But I think… Jivin’ Jenny’s dancin’ With everybody… … Good. That’s why we love her. ⸻ (Build Up) Come on now! Little louder! I KNOW you got more than that! Come on! COME ON!! ⸻ (Singer Talks) Franky! That old hat’s gonna fall off! Ha-ha! Leave it on! It’s luckier than you are! ⸻ (Big Finish) Whooooo!! Play it hotter! Swingin’ Sammy! Burn those keys! Jumpin’ Joey! Wake that sax up! Boom-Boom Benny! Don’t you quit! ⸻ (Last Chorus) Ramblin’ Reggie! Swingin’ Sammy! Jivin’ Jenny! Everybody happy! Franky With The Old Hat! Still lookin’ cool! Jumpin’ Joey! Nobody’s fool! Shake that roof! Rock this town! Turn your worries upside down! Aw-wop! Bim-bam! Scooba-loo! Nobody knows Who’s dancin’ with who! ⸻ (False Ending) Thank you! You’ve been wonderful! Drive home safe! … … … ⸻ (Singer Talks) Wait… Swingin’ Sammy… Did we forget somethin’? … One more?! … I LIKE THAT IDEA!! ⸻ (Encore) ⸻ (Grand Finale) Ramblin’ Reggie! Take it away! Swingin’ Sammy! Play all day! Jumpin’ Joey! Blow that horn! Boom-Boom Benny! Till the break of dawn! Franky! Keep that old hat high! Jivin’ Jenny! Don’t ask why! One! Two! Three! FOUR!! Whooooooo!! AIN’T NOBODY… GOIN’ HOME… TONIGHT!! (Standing Ovation)
