Lyric

I slipped in late in satin shoes

The house was hot, the band had blues

Then that clarinet

Drew a line in the air

It curved around my little grin

Like it knew just where I'd been

I said, "Boy, go on"

And it answered me there

Oh, the bass kept walking

Right through my chest

The piano said, "Baby"

You can do the rest

Clarinet starts to dance

Clarinet starts to dance

Spin me one more chance

Clarinet starts to dance

Bend it, baby, bend it

Make my poor heart prance

Clarinet starts to dance

Clarinet starts to dance

Trumpet threw a silver wink

Brush drums made the whole room blink

My skirt caught air

On the edge of the beat

I laughed like a card in play

When the band began to sway

And I found my feet

In the center of the street

Oh, the bass kept walking

Right through my chest

The piano said, "Baby"

You can do the rest

Clarinet starts to dance

Clarinet starts to dance

Spin me one more chance

Clarinet starts to dance

Bend it, baby, bend it

Make my poor heart prance

Clarinet starts to dance

Clarinet starts to dance

Take the smoke off the rafters

Take the shine off the floor

I don't need much more

Just that sweet little swerve

Just that sly little chance

Just that clarinet dance

Clarinet starts to dance

Clarinet starts to dance

Spin me one more chance

Clarinet starts to dance

Bend it, baby, bend it

Make my poor heart prance

Clarinet starts to dance

Clarinet starts to dance

Oh-oh, it swings

Oh-oh, it sways

Clarinet starts to dance

All night long tonight
