Salvation Stomp by Donovan Lyrics

Salvation Stomp

When I heard that crazy music comin' out the scene
That achin', shakin' shuffle down along the Mississippi Queen
That rough and randy off-beat, and that funky bass
That slinky, snakey, kinky licorice sticking up the place

Couldn't keep my feet from jumping –
Couldn't keep my toes from tapping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my feet from jumping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my plates of meat from flippin and flopping all along

Wild Cat Harry wheelin' great big flying boots
Spillin' floorboards as the trumpeter, he go a rooty tooty toot
Long haired, lanky lady, black drag delight, yeah
Just jiggin' up and down, hey, man, she was a jiggin' out of sight

Couldn't keep my feet from jumping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my toes from tapping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my feet from jumping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my plates of meat from flippin and flopping all along
Alright now, let's go

Couldn't keep my feet from jumping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my toes from tapping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my feet from stomping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my plates of meat from flippin and flopping all along

Big beer belly, bouncing up and down
Great clouds of reefer coming over from the shady side of town
Funky monkey suit and tophat, roll them blood-shot eyes
Just let it all hang out and boogey woogey down to Paradise

Couldn't keep my feet from jumping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my toes from tapping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my feet from jumping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my plates of meat from flippin and flopping all along

Cool, cool cats
Cool, cool cats
Cool, cool cats
Yeah!
