Slap That Bass by George Gershwin Lyrics

(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
