Reefer Madness movie - Down at the Ol' Five and Dime lyrics
rate me<br>
All:<br>
After school is let out we just like to get out<br>
To the place where jitterbug is always in style<br>
Satchmo is a-singin', Dorsey is a-swingin'<br>
A syncopated wonderland that brings on a smile<br>
Come and stretch your dance abilities<br>
Nobody is feelin' ill at ease<br>
When your toes are tappin' anything can happen<br>
Down at the ol' Five and Dime!<br>
<br>
Dancin'! Dancin'!<br>
Razmatazz that always has you sashayin'<br>
Swayin'<br>
Buy your gal some jujubees<br>
She'll be swoonin', spoonin'<br>
Down at the ol' Five and Dime!<br>
<br>
Mr. Poppy:<br>
Hey! My name is Mr. Poppy<br>
In my little shop, we make the finest cherry fizz in all of the land<br>
Service with a smile, makin' quite a pile<br>
Even have a little left to pay for a band<br>
<br>
(Short musical break)<br>
<br>
All:<br>
You can buy yourself a pack of smokes<br>
<br>
Mr. Poppy:<br>
Laugh at Mr. Poppy's knock knock jokes<br>
<br>
All:<br>
Ho! Gotta take the gang out to the local hangout<br>
Where Benny Goodman is king!<br>
<br>
(dialogue, dance break)<br>
<br>
Dancin'! Dancin'!<br>
<br>
Mr. Poppy:<br>
Then enjoy some funny books<br>
<br>
All:<br>
We get frisky, risky<br>
<br>
Mr. Poppy:<br>
Cool off with a malted milk<br>
<br>
All:<br>
We're all boppin', come drop in<br>
Down at the ol' Five and Dime!<br>
<br>
Mr. Poppy:<br>
Sometimes men would come to call<br>
who stank of sin and Barbasol<br>
They'd ask kids if they felt at all like <br>
having themselves a few kicks!<br>
<br>
(dialogue, swing music break)<br>
<br>
All:<br>
Feel the crazy rhythm in your feet<br>
Everybody keep in reet petite<br>
Blazing bright as neon, maybe we could be on<br>
Major Bowes' amateur hour!<br>
<br>
(dialogue)<br>
<br>
Dancin'! Dancin'!<br>
Charleston till our tootsies ache<br>
We'll be slidin', glidin'<br>
Rompin' to the Savoy Stomp<br>
We're rug cuttin', struttin'<br>
Then as a coda, we drink ice cream soda<br>
Here down at the ol' Five and Dime! Yeah!<br>
<br>
