The Andrews Sisters - South Rampart Street Parade

Do you hear the beat
Away down the street
Do you hear the neat
Little rhythm of the happy dancin' feet

Well now, look there
The people are runnin'
And right now
They're gonna have a lot of fun
Make way
'Cause ev'rybody's comin'
And you'll see a big parade

Hey boy, you're really gonna celebrate
Hear that? Listen to the clarinet
Your feet are really gonna palpitate
When you are marchin' around

Marchin' around, wonderful sound
I hear the rattle-de-tat
I love to hear the way the drummer does that
Oh, what a glorious day, out o' my way
Make room and gimme some air
I got a lot of rhythm to spare

We all swing high, swing low
Everybody rockin' to and fro
It ain't fast or slow, but oh
That glory hallelujah
Swing that thing
Make the river bottom ring and sing
Hush ma mouth
That's the South Rampart Street Parade

They're doin' it, soft shoein' it
They're tryin' it, untyin' it
They're jivin' it, revivin' it, I tell you
They're struttin' it, rug-cuttin' it
They're shakin' it and breakin' it
Dad! Not bad! I'm glad! You dig! Hey, boy that
Ev'ry boy's got a girl, the town's gonna whirl
Tonight's a jamboree, mister
And if you come along you'll join in the song
Hey, Dad, Not Bad! I'm glad! You dig!
Hey, boy that band is grand

I hear the trombone
That shiny trombone
Everybody playin' mighty fine
As they march along
And I never get enough
Of that Creole song

Hear now
It's loud and clear now
I really get a thrill
I know I always will
Whenever I can hear
The rhythm of a band

Way down yonder in the cane-break
You can hear the music they make
Ringin' out until the day break
Louisiana band, gotta get a hand
The South Rampart Street Parade.
