After many years of just playing harp at a local Sunday night jam, I have begun to sing. I would love to do a George Harmonica Smith tune called "Rocking". It is a swingin tune that will get me out of the "shuffle rut" LOL. The trouble is...I can't seem to pull all the lyrics out, and don;t want to just substitute something. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Feel free to contact me off list.
PS...I have found it quite liberating !!

I went to Kansas City, 12th and Vine
I went do there to have me a time
I went in the front to get to the back
The first fella I met was Bartender Jack
It was Rockin'
It was Rockin'
It was Rockin'
sure havin' a wonderful time
Well the prettiest little hostess I ever seen
That's the little chick they call Earlene
She was rockin
She was rockin
She was rockin
sure havin' a wonderful time
Well one shot of vodka two shots of gin
The MC walked out and let our show begin
It was Rockin'
It was Rockin'
It was Rockin'
sure havin' a wonderful time
The crowd all yelled we're ready to go
Out walked a chick named Mary Jo
She was shakin'
She was shakin'
sure havin' a wonderful time
You have to remember to tell the band that the first set of breaks are long breaks.
