Slap That Bass (From "Shall We Dance")

Slap That Bass - Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers

Slap that bass

Slap it till it's dizzy

Slap that bass

Keep the rhythm busy

Zoom zoom zoom

Misery, you've got to go

Slap that bass

Use it like a tonic

Slap that bass

Keep your Philharmonic

Zoom zoom zoom

And the milk and honey'll 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

Learn to zoom zoom zoom

Slap that bass

Zoom zoom, zoom zoom

The World is in a mess

With politics and taxes

And people grinding axes

There's 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 those feet)

I said slap that bass

(We said slap those feet)

Alright, slap that bass

And I'll slap these feet

Well slap my face

Can he slap that bass

(Feet)

Bass

(Bass)

Bass

(Feet)
