Pa-ra-pa

[Intro]
Hey now, step in close
Count it out, let the whole room know

[Verse 1]
Polished shoes on a wooden floor
You tap twice, then you tap once more
Little gold watch, swinging in time
Your grin says trouble, and trouble looks fine

[Pre-Chorus]
Round the table, hands up high
Keep that rhythm moving by and by

[Chorus]
Pa-ra-pa, say it bright
Everybody turn it loose tonight
Pa-ra-pa, side to side
Old-time swing with a modern ride
Pa-ra-pa, don’t be shy
Let that happy little rhythm fly
Pa-ra-pa, one more round
When the brass jumps, shake the ground

[Verse 2]
Red silk ribbon, silver cane
You bring sunshine through the windowpane
Piano laughs and the trumpets tease
We spin so fast with the greatest ease

[Pre-Chorus]
Round the table, hands up high
Keep that rhythm moving by and by

[Chorus]
Pa-ra-pa, say it bright
Everybody turn it loose tonight
Pa-ra-pa, side to side
Old-time swing with a modern ride
Pa-ra-pa, don’t be shy
Let that happy little rhythm fly
Pa-ra-pa, one more round
When the brass jumps, shake the ground

[Bridge]
One, two, three, now turn around
Four, five, six, let the piano pound
Tip your hat and cross the floor
Then we do it all once more

[Final Chorus]
Pa-ra-pa, say it bright
Everybody turn it loose tonight
Pa-ra-pa, side to side
Old-time swing with a modern ride
Pa-ra-pa, don’t be shy
Let that happy little rhythm fly
Pa-ra-pa, one more round
When the brass jumps, shake the ground

[Outro]
Pa-ra-pa, fading light
Keep that little tune in sight
