The Lip (24-Bit Mastering) (2002 Digital Remaster)-Louis Prima

[00:06.33]Down on the Mississippi River in a knockdo dive [00:09.87]I met a trumpet playin' character and Man alive! [00:13.27]When he began to rip, he really played it from the hip [00:16.63]And when I asked about his name, [00:18.23]They told me, "That's 'The Lip'." [00:19.97]Yip yip yip yip [00:22.46]No one plays high notes like The Lip. [00:26.63]He's got a tone that's reminiscent of a boy named Bix [00:30.04]He plays so high that only dogs can hear him, just for kicks. [00:33.50]And when I asked him does he read [00:35.15]He says, "I'll tell you, hon, [00:36.94]I read a little bit but not enough to hurt me none." [00:40.21]Yip yip yip yip. [00:42.70]No one plays high notes like The Lip. [00:46.86]I said The Lip. [00:48.70]She must mean Ray Anthony, huh? [00:50.34]I said The Lip. [00:51.38]No, man, she means Harry James. [00:53.79]I said The Lip. [00:54.64]You mean Louis Prima. [00:57.09]I said The Lip. [00:58.18]Noo, LIP-er-ace. [01:00.48]Yip yip yip yip [01:02.99]No one plays high notes like The Lip. [01:07.15]I never heard a trumpet player play a note so high [01:10.70]And I had to coax a lot before The Lip would tell me why [01:13.93]Then he took out a little jar that's labeled 'High-note Grease' [01:17.58]And he rubs a little every night on his mouthpiece [01:20.58]Yip yip yip yip [01:23.07]No one plays high notes like The Lip. [01:26.28]Listen here gal, [01:27.82]Are you kiddin' about all that 'high-note grease'? [01:30.82]No, man, I swear, he had ten in a big valise. [01:34.84]Wha', you mean he goes to the drugstore [01:36.31]And gets them from the medecine shelf? [01:38.09]No, some cat's told me he makes it himself. [01:40.92]Yip yip yip yip [01:43.52]Tell us the secret of The Lip. [01:46.62]Well..you take a buketful of steam and a dozen rooster eggs [01:51.40]And you mix 'em up gently with a bushel full of goldfish legs [01:55.00]And hang 'em on a sky hook in the midnight sun [01:58.44]Mmm and then you fry them until they're done. [02:01.31]Yip yip yip yip [02:03.97]That's the secret of The Lip
