The Jersey Bounce - Ella Fitzgerald

They call it that jersey bounce

A rhythm that really counts

The temperature always mounts

Wherever they play the funny rhythm they play

It started on journal square

And somebody heard it there

He put it right on the air

And now you hear it everywhere

Uptown gave it new licks

Downtown added some tricks

No town makes it sound the same

As where it came from

So if you don't feel so hot

Go out to some jersey spot

And whether you're hep or not

The jersey bounce'll make you swing

Call it that jersey bounce

A rhythm that really counts

The temperature always mounts

Whenever they play that jersey bounce

It started on journal square

Somebody heard it there

He put it right on the air

And now you hear it everywhere

Uptown gave it new licks

Downtown added some tricks

No town make it sound the same

As where it came from

So if you don't feel so hot

Go out to some jersey spot

And whether you're hep or not

The jersey bounce'll make you swing
