about
Put on your dancing shoes and prepare to forget your troubles, 'Jazz Jump,' the hard-swinging new vocalese single from The Royal Bopsters is here. Voted 'Best Jazz Vocal Group' of 2020 in the Jazz Times Critics Poll, The Royal Bopsters shine brightly on this charming cover of King Pleasure's vocalese classic set to Lester Young's instrumental composition 'Up and At 'Em.' Arranged by Bopster Dylan Pramuk, who also provides additional lyrics, 'Jazz Jump' adds another joyful gem to The Royal Bopsters' (Amy London, Holli Ross, Dylan Pramuk, Pete McGuinness) crown as internationally acclaimed keepers of the vocalese flame.
lyrics
When the blues gotcha payin' dues an' feelin' beat
Go an' throw ya troubles away in the deep blue sea
Baby, kick off ya shoes an' use those reelin' feet!
Hurry on back start jumpin' with me!
Let's jump!
Jump until they put out the lights, and jump!
I think you'll agree
The music is as groovy as it used to be!
Troubles go doubles
So throw away your troubles
And come on with me!
Wait until we get on the floor
Then jump, jump, jump until ya can't no more!
My baby, now jump!
Turn it loose an' wiggle
With a wobble an' a giggle, pretty baby
Baby, tell me do you wanna jive, or, tell me, do you wanna jump?
I don't care about what the people do, or what people say
We're only here for a day
Well, I only know the main thing is give a lot o' livin'
So go out swingin', pretty baby!
Jump with a rubbery-dubbery feelin'
Jump till you really are rockin' an' reelin'
Jump till you're spinnin' it all around
Pullin' your body down, all around, around right onto the ground
And then you're really swingin'!
Come on an' jump with me, little purdy one
come on, jump up n' down
Jump, Baby, and stomp. Don't stop swingin' those hips around me!
Jump till you really get the feelin' over you to live and be happy
Baby, while you may!
Come on an' swing, come on an' swing
Don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing!
Let's jump!
Jump until ya feel it in the rump!
Jump until you're leapin' up high!
Well, you better reach an' get it for you'll never take it with you when you die
No...
Shake that thing!
So go ahead an' wiggle, pretty baby, and romp
So pretty to the eye!
So go ahead an' shimmy, pretty baby, and jump!
Spread wings! Jump, jump!
Spread wings! Jump!
Spread your wings! Jump, jump!
Spread wings! Jump, jump!
Spread your wings! Jump, jump!
Spread your wings and jump!
Makes you feel so good
Like I knew it would!
You gotta keep swingin', pretty baby
Jump and make up your mind to reach the summit!
Jump!
And give it an easy stride
And jump!
And give it a greasy slide
And jump!
Baby, won't cha boogie it wide?
And jump!
Jump until you raise up an' glide
And jump!
Jump until you shake it loose an' break it loose!
Slide along and glide along!
Come on, Old Bill Bailey
Please tell my friends I'm comin' o'er the top!
Well, I hate to go an' leave you, but I tell you it's all over now, pretty baby
Baby, it was fun, yes it was
Oh yes, it was fun. It was! I'm glad I met ya
(When the blues gotcha payin' dues an' feelin' beat)
An' I never will forget ya an' the way you dance
(Baby, kick off ya shoes an' use those reelin' feet!)
Never forget ya, 'cause I love ya, pretty baby
An' I love the way you dance!
(You dance!)

I haven't cried during the first listen of a pop song in a long time, possibly ever. But Marsh just did it to me. This is deeply moving music. burbnluvr
