Judy Garland - The Joint Is Really Jumpin' Down At Carnegie Hall Lyrics

Perhaps it was something that hit me?
Perhaps it was something i ate?
But out of the blue, i dreamed i met you
And you said to me, "Hiya Gate!"

Millions have heard you play Chopin
The critics applaud, and approve
But millions more, would simply adore
To hear you get in the groove
To hear you get in the groove
I said to hear you get in the groove

You believe it, you'll think its a dream
To hear 'em riffing it, right on the beam
But when you hear trumpets, give out a call
You'll know the joint is really jumpin' down at Carnegie Hall

Instead of Strauss they play Irving Berlin
Instead of Brahms its begin the begin
Those classic ackies, are due for a fall 'cause
The joint is really jumpin' down at Carnegie Hall

They're playing ti-ti-alata, ti-ti-alata
With Shostakovich
Ti-ti-alata, ti-ti-alata
Mozart and Bach
Ti-ti-alata, ti-ti-alata
And they don't know which
'Cause anything can happen when they, start to rock!

The Philharmonic, was so dignified
And now they're groovy and starting to ride
Handel and Haydn, are facing the wall 'cause
The joint is really jumpin' down at Carnegie Hall

*Hums along*

They hey, swing, everything
With a ding, dong, and when the maestro gives them a beat
Its a, reet beat, that starts them to toot with a root toot
Thats, a bit of alright
And even Jose Iturbi's getting hep, he's hep, he's hep. BOY!

Tchai Tchai Tchaikovsky, would really be hurt
To hear 'em jiving his piano concert
Beethoven's lucky, he can't hear at all 'cause
The joint is really jumpin'
The joint is really jumpin'
The joint is really jumpin' and i mean it down at Carnegie Hall.
