George Gershwin — Slap That Bass

(Verse) Zoom zoom zoom zoom The world is in a mess With politics and taxes And people grinding axes There's no happiness Zoom zoom zoom zoom Rhythm, lead your ace The future doesn't fret me If I can only get me Someone to slap that bass Happiness is not a riddle When I'm listening to that big bass fiddle (Chorus) Slap that bass Slap it till it's dizzy Slap that bass Keep the rhythm busy Zoom zoom zoom Misery, you got to go Slap that bass Use it like a tonic Sleep that bass Keep your philharmonic Zoom zoom zoom And the milk and honey'll flow Dictators would be better off If they zoom-zoomed now and then Today you can see that the happiest men All got rhythm In which case If you want to bubble Slap that bass Slap away your trouble Learn to zoom zoom zoom Slap that bass
