The Joint Is Jumpin' Songtext
von Fats Waller and His Rhythm

They have a new expression,
Along ol′ Harlem Way,
That tells you when a party,
Is ten times more than gay.
To say that things are jumpin',
Leaves not a single doubt,
That everything, is in full swing,
When you hear somebody shout.
This joint is jumpin′,
It's really jumpin',
Come in cats and check your hats, I mean this joint is jumpin′.
The piano′s thumpin, The dancers are bumpin,
This here spot, Is more than hot,
In fact, the joint is jumpin'.
Check your weapons at the door,
Be sure to pay your quarter,
Burn your leather on the floor,
Grab anybody′s daughter,
The roof is rockin',
The neighbours′(are) knockin',
We′re all bums, when the waggon comes,
I mean this joint is jumpin'.
