Lyric

Sh-boom, sh-boom

Mm-ba-da, mm-ba-da

C’mon, baby, c’mon

Step right up, don’t be shy

Velvet curtain, cherry pie

Gloves off, now the floorboards grin

Trumpet calls, and I dive in

Little wink, big old smile

I been saving this all night

Pocket full of razzamatazz

Watch me swing it, watch me razz

Ooh, the lights go low

And the rhythm says go

Stop-time, then we fly

Tell me, baby, are you mine?

Invitation to the midnight revue

Ba-da-bop, I’m calling for you

Invitation to the midnight revue

Skiddly-woo, and the horns say true

Hey, hey, swing on through

Invitation to the midnight revue

Saxophone got a velvet sting

Piano laughs when I start to sing

Heel-to-toe on a shiny groove

Every little step got room to move

I toss a line, you toss one back

Crowd goes wild when I snap my neck

Cherry-red mouth, snap of a fan

I’m the spark, and you’re the band

Ooh, the floorboards shake

When the trumpet wake

Hold that note, then slide

Baby, come take this ride

Invitation to the midnight revue

Ba-da-bop, I’m calling for you

Invitation to the midnight revue

Skiddly-woo, and the horns say true

Hey, hey, swing on through

Invitation to the midnight revue

Who’s that knockin’ on the side door?

Shoo-be-doo, that’s what I’m here for

Come on in, let the velvet fly

One more shout and we reach the sky

Invitation to the midnight revue

Ba-da-bop, I’m calling for you

Invitation to the midnight revue

Skiddly-woo, and the horns say true

Hey, hey, swing on through

Invitation to the midnight revue

Sh-boom, sh-boom

Mm-ba-da, mm-ba-da

Invite me back, baby
