Slap That Bass

Slap That Bass - Ella Fitzgerald

Zoom zoom zoom zoom

The world is in a mess

With politics and taxes

And people grinding axes

Theres no happiness

Zoom zoom zoom zoom

Rhythm lead your ace

The future doesn't fret me

If I can only get me

Someone to slap that bass

Happiness is not a riddle

When I'm listening to that

Big bass fiddle

Slap that bass

Slap it till its dizzy

Slap that bass

Keep the rhythm busy

Misery youve got to go

Slap that bass

Use it like a tonic

Slap that bass

Keep your philharmonic

Zoom zoom zoom

And the milk and honeyll flow

Dictators would be better off

If they zoom zoom now and then

Today you can see that the happiest men

All got rhythm

In which case

If you want a bauble

Slap that bass

Slap away your trouble

Slap that bass

Dictators would be better off

If they zoom zoom now and then

Today you can see that the happiest men

All got rhythm

In which case

If you want a bauble

Slap that bass

Slap away your trouble
