[Instrumental intro.]


A-don'tcha know that I danced,
I danced till a quarter to three.

A-with the help, that night, with Daddy "G." 1
A-he was swingin' on the sax with a terrible tune,
An' I was dancin' all over the room.


A-don'tcha know the people were dancin',
Like they were mad.

It was the swingin'est band they had ever had.
An' the swingin'est song there could ever be. 1
Is "A night with a-Daddy 'G.'"


A-let me tell you that, I never had it so good.
Yeah, an' I know you never could,

Until you get hep, an' a-with that jive,
An' dig a band like the Church Street Five. 1


Don'tcha know that I danced,
I danced till a quarter to three.
A-with the help, that night, with Daddy "G."

Everybody was a-happy as a-they could be.
But they were swingin' with a-Daddy "G."


A-blow Daddy! 2

[Instrumental feature with saxophone solo by Gene "Daddy 'G'"

Barge and interjections from Gary "U.S." Bonds.]

A big beat, Daddy! Yah!

A-yay-yay-yay-yay-yeah!
A-just a little bit of soul, now!
Ahhh, yeah!


A-let me tell you that I never had it so good.
Yeah, and I know you never could,

Until you get hep an' a-with that jive,
An' dig a band like the Church Street Five.


Don'tcha know that I danced,
I danced till a quarter to three.
A-with the help, that night, with Daddy "G."

Everybody was a-happy as a-they could be.
But they were swingin' with a-Daddy "G."
A-blow Daddy!

A-blow, blow Daddy!
A-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yeah!
Oooohh, yeah!

[Clapping.]
[Fade.]
A-blow Daddy!
