Stompin' At the Savoy
Savoy (yeah, that's a part of what Harlem was all about)
Savoy (you know, the home, the home of happy feet)
The Savoy Ballroom
Yeah, my daddy met my momma, my momma met my daddy
Listening to Ella Fitzgerald
This chick wimping, hmm
And that's part of the reason I'm here today, babies
So I grew up listening to all this
Cool and hip music
You know, I got to enjoy it when I was like, you know, seven, eight
Nine years old
And I'm so glad to be able to
Throw a thunderball down your way
Pick it up
Savoy (the home of sweet romance)
Savoy (it wins you with a glance)
Savoy (gives happy feet a chance)
Let's dance
Oh, your form (just like a clinging vine)
Your lips (warm and sweet as wine)
Oh, your cheek (soft and close to mine)
Divine
How my heart is singing
While the band is swinging
I'm never tired of a-romping
And stomping with you at the Savoy
Savoy (a perfect holiday)
Savoy (where we can glide and sway)
Savoy (we're gonna stomp away)
Let's dance
How my heart is singing
Listen to the big band swinging
Never get tired of romping
And stomping with you at the Savoy
Savoy
Savoy
Let's dance
Let's dance
Let's dance
Let's dance
