The Joint Is Jumpin'

The Joint Is Jumpin' - Fats Waller

They have a new expression along old Harlem way

That tells you when a party is ten times more than gay

To say that things are jumpin' leaves not a single doubt

That everthing is in full swing when you hear somebody shout

The joint is jumpin'

It's really jumpin'

Come in cats and check your hats

I mean this joint is jumpin'

The piano's thumpin'

The dancers are bumpin'

This here spot is more than hot

In fact the joint is jumpin'

Check your weapons at the door

To pay your quarter

Burn your leather on the floor

Grab anybody's daughter

The roof is rockin'

The neighbors knockin'

We're all bums when the wagon comes

The joint is jumpin'

It's really jumpin'

Come in cats and check your hats

I mean this joint is jumpin'

The piano's thumpin'

The dancers are bumpin'

This here spot is more than hot

In fact the joint is jumpin'

Check your weapons at the door

Be sure to pay your quarter

Burn your leather on the floor

Grab anybody's daughter

The roof is rockin'

The neighbors knockin'

We're all bums when the wagon comes

I mean this joint is jumpin'

Get your pig feet bread and gin

There's plenty in the kitchen

Who is that that just came in

Just look at the way he's switchin'

Don't mind the hour

Cause I'm in power I've got bail if we go to jail

I mean this joint is jumpin'

Don't have your right name no no

I mean this joint is jumpin'
