Let Me Off up Town

Let Me Off up Town - Roy Eldridge

Hey Joe

What d'ya mean Joe My name's Roy

Well come here Roy and get groovy

You bin uptown

No I aingt bin uptown but I've bin around

You mean to say you aingt bin uptown

No I aingt bin uptown what's uptown

If it's pleasure you're about

And you feel like stepping out

All you've got to shout is

Let me off uptown

If it's rhythm that you feel

Then it's nothing to conceal

Oh you've got to spiel it

Let me off uptown

Rib joints juke joints hep joints

Where could a fella go to top it

If you want to pitch a ball

And you can't afford a hall

All you've got to call is

Let me off uptown

Anita oh Anita say I feel something

Whatcha feel Roy The heat

No it must be that uptown rhythm

I feel like blowing

Well blow Roy blow
