I live in a whistle stop town
Where everyone thinks I'm a clown
Because I like to hear the train whistle blow

Just because the trains never stop
They say that I'm gonna blow my top
But I like to hear the train whistle blow

Baby ?? that you're coming back to me
One day the train will stop and they will see

I know the train will bring you home
I hope and pray it won't be long
That's why I like to hear the train whistle blow

Bring her back to me
Bring her back to me
Bring her back to me
Bring her back to me

Baby ?? that you're coming back to me
One day the train will stop and they will see

I know the train will bring you home
I hope and pray it won't be long
That's why I like to hear the train whistle blow

Bring her back to me
Bring her back to me
Bring her back to me

Down on the Mississippi River in a knockdo* dive
I met a trumpet playin' character and Man alive!
When he began to rip, he really played it from the hip
And when I asked about his name, they told me, "That's 'The Lip'."
Yip yip yip yip
No one plays high notes like The Lip.
He's got a tone that's reminiscent of a boy named Bix
He plays so high that only dogs can hear him, just for kicks.
And when I asked him does he read
He says, "I'll tell you, hon, I read a little bit but not enough to hurt me none."
Yip yip yip yip.
No one plays high notes like The Lip.
I said The Lip.
She must mean Ray Anthony, huh?
I said The Lip.
No, man, she means Harry James.
I said The Lip.
You mean Louis Prima.
I said The Lip.
Noo, LIP-er-ace.
Yip yip yip yip
No one plays high notes like The Lip.
I never heard a trumpet player play a note so high
And I had to coax a lot before The Lip would tell me why
Then he took out a little jar that's labeled 'High-note Grease'
And he rubs a little every night on his mouthpiece
Yip yip yip yip
No one plays high notes like The Lip.
Listen here gal, are you kiddin' about all that 'high-note grease'?
No, man, I swear, he had ten in his valise.
Wha', you mean he goes to the drugstore and gets them from the medecine shelf?
No, some cat's told me he makes it himself.
Yip yip yip yip
Tell us the secret of The Lip.
Well..you take a buketful of steam
And a dozen rooster eggs
And you mix 'em up gently with a bushel full of goldfish legs
And ya hang 'em on a sky hook in the midnight sun
Mmm and then you fry them until they're done.
Yip yip yip yip
That's the secret of The Lip

I got a woman as big as a house, yes sir
She's as big as a 2 family house with a porch & a fence
You won't believe what you see when you look at her
She's enormous, colossal, tremendous, gigantic, immense
Why try to deny it, she's just what I like, If she goes on a diet
I'm on strike

The bigger the figure, the better I like her
The better I like her, the better I feed her
The better I feed her, the bigger the figure
The bigger the figure, the more I can love

She's exactly like a watermelon
Big around & sweet
In a party dress, she may be quite a mess
But I love her a lot, so what if she's not so neat

The bigger the figure, the better I like her
The better I like her, the better I feed her
The better I feed her, the bigger the figure
The bigger the figure, the more I can love

If she ever, eats me out of money
And we need the rent
Thata be a synch, cause when we're in a pinch
I could put her to work under a circus tent



The bigger the figure, the better I like her
The better I like her, the better I feed her
The better I feed her, the bigger the figure
The bigger the figure, the more I can love

[Bridge]

Old black magic has me in its spell
Old black magic that you weave so well
Those icy fingers up and down my spine
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine

Same old tingle that I feel inside
And then that elevator starts its ride
Down and down I go
Round and round I go
Like a leaf caught in the tide

I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name, and I'm a flame
Flame, burning desire
That only your kiss
Put out the fire

For your the lover that I've waited for
Your the mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine

Baby down and down I go, round and round I go
In a spin, loving the spin that I'm in
Under that old black magic called love
Ooh in a spin, lovin the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
In a spin, lovin the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love

I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name and I'm a flame
Flame, burning desire
That only your kiss
Put out the fire

For your the lover I have waited for
Your the mate that fate had me created for
And everytime your lips meet mine

Baby down and down I go, round and round I go
In a spin, loving the spin that I'm in
Under that old black magic called love
Ah, in a spin, lovin the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
In a spin, lovin the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love

Under the old black magic called love!

Old black magic has me in its spell
Old black magic that you weave so well
Those icy fingers up and down my spine
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine

Same old tingle that I feel inside
And then that elevator starts its ride
Down and down I go
Round and round I go
Like a leaf caught in the tide

One early morning as I was walking
I met a woman, we started talking
I took her home to get a few nips
But all I had was a mint julep

I don't remember just how I started
I only know that we should have parted
I stole a kiss and then another
I didn't mean to take it further
One mint julep was the cause of it all

The lights were burning low, there in the parlor
When through the kitchen door up popped her father
He said, "I saw you when you kissed my daughter
Better wed her right now, or face a slaughter"
I didn't know just what I was doing, I had to marry or face ruin

A mint julep, a mint julep
A mint julep, a mint julep
One mint julep was the cause of it all

Now, I don't want to bore you with my troubles
But from now on I'll be thinking double
I'm through with flirting and drinking whiskey
I got six extra children from a-getting frisky

A mint julep, a mint julep

One mint julep was the cause of it all

Up a lazy river by the old mill stream
That lazy, hazy river where we both can dream
Linger in the shade of an old oak tree
Throw away your troubles, dream a dream with me

Up a lazy river where the Robin's song
Wakes up in the mornin', as we roll along
Blue skies up above everyone's in love
Up a lazy river, how happy we will be, now
Up a lazy river with me

Up a lazy river by the old mill run
That lazy, lazy river in the noon day sun
You can linger in the shade
Of that fine ole tree
Throw, away your troubles
Baby, dream with me

Up a lazy river where the Robin's song
Wakes a brand new mornin' as we roll along
There are blue skies up above
And as long as we're in love
Up a lazy river, how happy we could be
If you go up a lazy river with me
Ah said with me now goin' up
That lazy river with me
