Duke Ellington & His Orchestra - Five O'Clock Drag lyrics

You're "hep" to what's buzzin', cousin; You're up on what's cookin' too Don'tcha start relaxin', Jackson; Show what you can do The Five O'clock Drag is drivin'! Just look at those cats arrivin' Around about five for jivin'; Say, it's a real "hep" treat The rhythm it blares is tricky A rhythm that scares an "ickie"; It's givin' the square a mickie A touch of Basin Street First, you start to zag And then you zig it And then you dig it Hip! Hip! Hip! Then you start to shag, and As you jig it You take a hop a jump Or a skip Five O'clock Drag is jumpin' The drummer man's beat is thumpin'; Five O'clock Drag is sumpin' That really does "all reet." The Five O'clock Drag is drivin'! Just look at those cats arrivin' Around about five for jivin'; Say, it's a real "hep" treat The rhythm it blares is tricky A rhythm that scares an "ickie"; It's givin' the square a mickie A touch of Basin Street First, you start to zag And then you zig it And then you dig it Hip! Hip! Hip! Then you start to shag, and As you jig it You take a hop a jump Or a skip Five O'clock Drag is jumpin' The drummer man's beat is thumpin'; Five O'clock Drag is sumpin' That really does "all reet."
