Big Bad Voodoo Daddy lyrics

(Scotty Morris)
So long my friends, farewell goodbye
I'd love to stay an play and sing for awhile,
but it's time to hit the road and say goodbye
So long farewell goodbye
Goodbye to my friends I'm glad you were here
It's time for us to go and get another beer
Well I'd like to see your smiling faces again
so goodbye my friends bye-bye
Thank you for the open invitation

(Scotty Morris)
Now....Friends let me tell you about this cat that I once met.
Smooth talker...with an export cigarette.
I don't believe I ever saw him without a cocktail in his hand,
and no one swings as hard to the big bad voodoo band.
Now he strolls through the city like a big ol' alley cat
with his pinstripe suit and a big bad voodoo hat.

Ya swing it
ah got it

it dont mean a thing
if it aint got that swing
babppitdeelpidalipitalidmao
it dont mean a thing
all you gotta do is sing
daddaddadadello
it makes no difference if your sweet or hot
just keep that rhythm give it everything you got
sayin
it dont mean a thing if it aint got that swing
waddadleedalledadao
it dont mean a thing if it aint got that swing

Hey Jack...I know what you're thinking.
That now's as good as any to start drinking.
Hey Scotty...Yeah...What's it gonna be?
A gin & tonic sounds might mighty good to me.
Man I know I gotta go it's the same thing every time,
but I don't think another drinks' gonna make me lose my mind.
So I think about my next drink,
and it's you & me and the bottle makes 3 tonight.

(Scotty Morris)
lease Baby... Let's get it right
I don't think I can take it...one more night.
I know I love you, I love you, I love you as though the stars are mine
So please Baby, show me you are mine.
Please Baby...Let's not fight
I don't think I can take it...one more night.
I know I love you, I love you, I love you as though the stars are mine
So please Baby, show me you are mine.

Hey folks here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher
She was a low-down Hoochie Koocher
She was the roughest toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale
Hidey Hidey Hidey Hi
(Hidey Hidey Hidey Hi)
Hodey odey odey oh
(Hodey odey odey oh)
Heedey Heedey Heedey Hee
(Heedey Heedey Heedey Hee)
Hidey Hidey Hidey Ho
(Hidey Hidey Hidey Ho)
She messed around with a bloke named smokey

Hey Jack...I know what your thinking. That now's as good as any to start
drinking. Hey Scotty...Yeah...What's it gonna be? A gin tonic sounds might
mighty good to me.
Man I know I gotta go it's the same thing every time, but I don't think
another drinks' gonna make me lose my mind. So I think about my next drink,
and it's you me and the bottle makes 3 tonight.

Oh!

Last night I was dreamin’

Dreamed about the H-Bomb

Well the bomb went off and I looked around
And I was the only man left on the ground

13 women and only one man in town

There was 13 women and only one man in town

Well, as funny as it may be

The only livin’ man in town was me

There was 13 women and only one man in town

I had 2 gals every morning

Now I'm the king of the swingers, boy, Jungle VIP.
I've reached the top and had to stop, and that's what's botherin' me.

I wanna be a man, man-cub,
Stroll right into town,
And be just like the other men,
I'm tired of monkeying around.

So, oh-oh-oh,
I wanna be just like you.
I wanna walk like you, talk like you do.
You see it's true,
An ape like me,
Can learn to be human, too!

When you feel your bones a shakin,
and your temperature is risen,
and the groove begins to move you,
it's the King of Swing....
'King of Swing'

When you see those fires' burnin,
and your fever is a risin
An the drums begin a poundin
It's the King of Swing...
'King of Swing'
'King of Swing'
'King of Swing'

When you hit the dance floor you gotta be Jumpin Jack
(Jump on in, jump with your baby)

When you hit the dance floor you gotta be Jumpin Jack
(Jump on in, jump with your baby)

Like a wild train rollin right up your track
(Whoa Whoa, you just can't stop it)

Like a wild train rollin right up your track
(Whoa Whoa, watch it, watch it)

It don't mean a thing
(It don't mean a thing)

(Scotty Morris)
The maddest kind of love...is a love you know is wrong
It burns a hole right through your soul
And cuts you like a knife.
The maddest kind of love...is a love you know won't last
It fills your heart with passion
And makes you lie about your past.
You know I speak from experience
I live it each day
It's something she does
It's something she'll say

The maddest kind of love,
is a love you know is wrong,
it burns a hole, right through your soul,
and cuts you like a knife.
The maddest kind of love,
is a love you know won't last,
it fills your heart with passion,
makes you lie about your past,
you know I speak from experience,
livin' each day,
its something she does,
something she'll say.
Its the maddest kind of love.

Now, I'm the King of the Swinger's Ball.
Jumbo V.I.P.
I Witchitan had this job,
And that's what's bothering me.
A wannabe a man maker can stroll right into town.
And be just like the other man.
I'm tired of monkeying around.
So, oooh-oooh-oooh.
I wan'na be just like you.
I wan'na walk like you,
Talk like you, ooh-ooh do.
You see, it's true,
An ape like me
Can learn to be human, too.

When you hit the dance floor you gotta be Jumpin Jack
(Jump on in, jump with your baby)

When you hit the dance floor you gotta be Jumpin Jack
(Jump on in, jump with your baby)

Like a wild train rollin right up your track
(Whoa Whoa, you just can't stop it)

Like a wild train rollin right up your track
(Whoa Whoa, watch it, watch it)

It don't mean a thing
(It don't mean a thing)

When you feel your bones a shakin,
and your temperature is risen,
and the groove begins to move you,
it's the King of Swing....
'King of Swing'

When you see those fires' burnin,
and your fever is a risin
An the drums begin a poundin
It's the King of Swing...
'King of Swing'
'King of Swing'
'King of Swing'

Oh!

Last night I was dreamin’

Dreamed about the H-Bomb

Well the bomb went off and I looked around
And I was the only man left on the ground

13 women and only one man in town

There was 13 women and only one man in town

Well, as funny as it may be

The only livin’ man in town was me

There was 13 women and only one man in town

I had 2 gals every morning

Ain’t got no money, ain’t it a shame

Ain’t got no time to get a job

I drink my whiskey, I drink my wine

I left my worries far behind

I’m feeling hungry, I’m feeling broke

If you could spare one, I could surely use a smoke

I got no history, I got no past

If you don’t help me, don’t think I’ll last

I got to get more time
