The Joint Is Jumping Lyrics

They have a new expression
Along old Harlem way
That tells you when a party
Is ten times more than gay
To say that things are jumpin′
Leaves not a single doubt
That everything is in full swing
When you hear someone shout

It is
The joint is jumpin'
It′s really jumpin'
Come in cats and check your hats
I mean the joint is jumpin'
The piano′s thumpin′
The dancers are bumpin'
This here spot is more than hot
In fact the joint is jumpin′

Check your weapons at the door
Be sure to pay your quarter
Burn your leather on the floor
Grab anybody's daughter
The roof is rockin′
The neighbors knockin'
We′re all bums when the wagon comes
I mean the joint is jumpin'
Let it be, yeah

The joint is jumpin'
It′s really jumpin′
Even Moses on his toes
I mean the joint is jumpin'
Uh oh, no time for talkin′
This place is walkin', yes
Get the jug and cut the rug
I said the joint is jumpin′

Listen, get your pig feet, beer and gin
There's plenty in the kitchen
Who is that that just came in?
Just look at the way he′s switchin', oh my baby
Don't mind the hour, I′m in power
I got bail if we go to jail
I said the joint is jumpin′

Don't give your right name
No, no, no
