歌詞

Tip-tap, baby, I'm in the back door grin

Spitshine shoes and a paper hat pin

Knick-knack pocket got a moonbeam coin

I came to tease that bass, not join

Ba-doo, ba-dee, I slip past the line

Little wink, little twist, I'm feeling fine

Shh, the band looks shook

That little cat took a crooked look

Uh-huh, the floor goes thin

I'm about to spin, spin, spin

Midnight brass caper, hey!

Ba-doo-bop, ba-doo-bop, stay

Midnight brass caper, hey!

I steal your grin and swing away

Ba-doo-ba-doo

Hey, hey

Midnight brass caper, hey!

Ba-da, ba-da, all the way

Trumpet talks like a silk-top thief

Saxophone laughs with a razor smile brief

I toss my voice like a tossed white glove

Make that horn cough up a fit of love

Shoo-bee, shooby, I dodge that note

Then I land on the beat with a velvet throat

Hold it, watch me slide

Hands in the air, let the rhythm glide

One step back, then bam

I'm the spell in the jam

Midnight brass caper, hey!

Ba-doo-bop, ba-doo-bop, stay

Midnight brass caper, hey!

I steal your grin and swing away

Ba-doo-ba-doo

Hey, hey

Midnight brass caper, hey!

Ba-da, ba-da, all the way

Ba! I freeze

Then tease, tease, tease

A little brass sting

And I make it sing

Bop-bop, look at me

I'm the trouble in the tree

Ooo-wee

Back it up

Then I swing right free

Midnight brass caper, hey!

Ba-doo-bop, ba-doo-bop, stay

Midnight brass caper, hey!

I steal your grin and swing away

Ba-doo-ba-doo

Hey, hey

Midnight brass caper, hey!

Ba-da, ba-da, all the way

Zing-zing, bless that horn

I was born to rattle this floor

Ba-doo, ba-dee

That's me, that's me
