Jersey Bounce — текст песни (Ella Fitzgerald)

(scat intro)

They call it that jersey bounce

A rhythm that really counts

The temperature always mounts

Wherever they play, the funny rhythm they play



It started on journal square

And somebody heard it there

He put it right on the air

And now you hear it everywhere



Uptown, gave it new licks

Downtown, added some tricks

No town, makes it sound, the same

As where it came from



So if you dont feel so hot

Go out to some jersey spot

And whether youre hep or not

The jersey bouncell make you swing



(scat)

How I love that jersey bounce

(scat)

Oh come on and play that jersey bounce

(scat)



They call it that jersey bounce

A rhythm that really counts

The temperature always mounts

Whenever they play that jersey bounce



It started on journal square

And somebody heard it there

He put it right on the air

That tune called the jersey bounce



Uptown, gave it new licks

Downtown, added some tricks

No town, make it sound the same

As where it came from



So if you dont feel so hot

Go out to some jersey spot

And whether youre hep or not

The jersey bouncell make you swing



Ounce by ounce

The jersey bounce

Puts you right in the swing

That jersey bounce

Itll make you swing



Give me that jersey bounce.
