Manhattan Transfer - Stomp Of King Porter слова песни


Alan`s solo:
Gather roun` `n hear my story
Oh boy!
`Bout the time when Jelly Roll was in town
(Stompin` it off, stompin` it off...)
He heard a local pianist
What joy!
Stompin` out music on an old upright pi-ano
Here comes King
that was downright ragged in a Scott Joplin way
(Here he comes-Master of the stomp)
Ol` Jelly knew the fella could play
Dig him!
by the things he heard his right hand say
(Now - we`re gonna romp)

(There was no doubtin` that the man could swing)

When Jelly Roll demanded his name
Hail! King Porter
Well, the man responded "Porter King"
(Dig `Im!) By order!
Well, Jelly lef` th` city, but he wrote
(Dig `Im!) Y` wanna dig `im
a rompin` ditty `bout the Porter
(Dig `Im!) Y` gonna dig `im
who was "King O` The Stomp"
Porter King sho` can stomp

Jelly wrote a ditty `bout a fella who could romp
This is the tune - "King Porter Stomp"

When Porter`s stridin` hands are flyin`
An` all his fingers are testifyin`
His two feet stompin` in ragged time
That`s a feelin` that is so sublime - Y` dig it?

He`s generatin` so much excitement
Y` keep forgettin` just what uptight meant
N` that`s that fella named Porter King
His style`s the essence o` Swing

(Well, well, well)

Oh, well, go on n` tell it

Cheryl`s solo:
When Jelly first heard Porter King
He declared he heard the very heart an` soul of swing
A certain ragged kind o` romp
in between a jump and a stomp
When Jelly heard, well, he really knew
because he played too
That Porter was a King, really n` truly a stone king
Another thing, somethin` never heard of
"Somethin` else" is the sort o` phrase
A fella`d prob`ly have t`use
if`e was gonna describe
the way Porter plays

There never was - an never`s gonna be
another strider fine as he
I know no other ear will ever hear another like it here.

Cheryl`s solo background:
Who you hunchin`?
Dig them stompin`
See them bunchin`
They rompn`

Sweat is poppin`
Hips`re rollin`
Funk is droppin`
Souls soulin`

Heat is massin`
Folks`re swingin`
Time is passin`
Arms flingin`

There`s contagion
Takin` over
Swing is ragin`
All over

Janis` solo:
Hey!!!
Stop that!!!
That stomp knocked me outta my hat!
Who`s that abusin` piano?
Tell me his name, because he`s boun` f` fame
`N how`d he figure such rhythm?
Did he bring it here with `im?
What kinda cat is King Porter?
Plinkin` an` plunkin` that romp he calls a stomp.

Janis` solo backgrounds:
Everybody groovin` and gigglin`
Mercy! Take a look at that wigglin`
See the cutie in the corner
She`s losin` her blues by stompin` outta her shoes
The folks are hoopin` n` hoppin`
Dig how all the fingers`re poppin`
Over there`s a wild cat stone drunk
The floor be his bunk.

Tim`s solo:
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp
Just keep on ballin` till we
start fallin` right through the floor
It`s so natch`ral
You want more?
Come - git it!

Porter - he`s the King!
He knows how to stomp an` swing,
That`s King Porter
Master of how to stomp

Tim`s solo backgrounds:
Outside the moon is beamin`
Inside the joint is steamin`
Them folks can really, really party
All night long
Porter`s stompin`
Gits everybody rompin`
Then everybody knows that one thing
Porter`s king.

Who`s the absolute Master of Stomp?
King Porter!
The rollicking Rajah of Romp?
King Porter!
The plinkin`est plunker
This side o` the border?
Who? Except King Porter

Who is the King of the Keys?
King Porter!
An` constantly able to please?
King Porter!
An` who tickles ivories like nobody livin`?
That`s King Porter! He`s the man!

Unloosen yo` shoes
(unloosen yo` shoes)
Start payin` them dues
(start payin` them dues)
Git shed o` them blues
Git shed o` them -
Dang them blue! You don`t shed `em, you lose
Spend a quarter!
(spend a quarter)
Give the order!
(give the order)
Mr. Porter -
Mister Barrellhouse man git t` stompin`
Make `em git hot - git `em rompin
The got t` dig King Porter Stomp!
