I Got Rhythm

Lyrics

Jump high, swing low Ready, steady, go, man, go Work hard, wag my tail Bare chest, I'm a virile male Six foot one and a son of a gun Say my prayers when the day is done Grandfather African Big lips, heap sun tan I love my dog, I love my dog Ride the bus, back in the cars No more place to keep my face When it's time, it's still all right I've got rhythm, yeah yeah I've got rhythm, yeah yeah yeah Why'd you call me names? Why'd you call me names? Levi suit, buckskin shoes Yeah I dig jazz, I love my blues I get stoned, love to wail Wam, tote that barge and lift that bail Showbiz coon singing "Big White Moon" Dumb brothers doing easy in the afternoon Got a dream all come true Nobody's coming after you Yes, sir boss, yes, sir boss Hit the hay, Lord almighty You look surprised, I'm looking all right Once on the job, it's plain to see I've got rhythm, yeah yeah I've got rhythm, yeah yeah yeah Why'd you call me names? Why'd you call me names? Joe Louis, Jesse Owen Sure had a good thing going Liberal drunk says he loves all niggers Digs Paul Robeson singing "Old Man River" Looks concerned when I start to jive-ass Ain't I glad to be alive? Shakes his head and starts to quiver Says "Look here, boy, I played you "Old Man River"" I dig James Brown, I dig James Brown Look to the left, look to the right Look on the black side if you'd like When you ask me to stop, I continue to buy I've got rhythm, yeah yeah I've got rhythm, yeah yeah yeah Why'd you call me names? Why'd you call me names?
