Lyric

Shoo-be-doo, shoo-be-doo

Ha!

Velvet curtain, three-step grin

My shoes tap out and the grin comes in

A silver coin in a tipped-back hat

Honey, look at that, look at that

Piano talks in a crooked smile

Bass walks easy for a while

Sax says, "baby, take your cue"

I swing right back at you

Hold that pose

Count to four

Feel that snap

Then one more

Throw your hat in the air

Throw it high, throw it fair

Throw your hat in the air

Let it spin, let it swear

Oh, what a night

Oh, what a sight

Throw your hat in the air

Throw your hat in the air

Trumpet pops like a popped champagne

My name goes flying down the aisle again

I kiss the mic with a wink and a grin

Then the whole room jumps right in

Heel toe, heel toe, side door slide

I got a little bit of brimmed-up pride

If you came for the show, stay right there

I'm gonna flip that room to prayer

Stop-time!

Zip-zap!

One hot note

Then clap back

Sax takes a turn

Drum says, "go"

I toss that hat

And steal the show

Throw your hat in the air

Throw it high, throw it fair

Throw your hat in the air

Let it spin, let it swear

Oh, what a night

Oh, what a sight

Throw your hat in the air

Throw your hat in the air

Shoo-be-doo, shoo-be-doo

Ha!

Throw your hat in the air

Shoo-be-doo, shoo-be-doo
