Fred Astaire - Top Hat: Hits From Hollywood

Slap That Bass

Slap that bass
Slap it till it's dizzy
Slap that bass
Keep the rhythm busy
Zoom zoom zoom
Misery, you've got to go

Slap that bass
Use it like a tonic
Slap that bass
Keep your Philharmonic
Zoom zoom zoom
And the milk and honey'll flow

Dictators would be better off
If they zoom zoom now and then
Today, you can see that the happiest men
All got rhythm

In which case
If you wanna bubble
Slap that bass
Slap away your trouble
Learn to zoom zoom zoom
Slap that bass

interlude

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

Slap that bass
(Slap those feet)
I said Slap that bass
(We said slap those feet)
All right, Slap that bass
And I'll slap these feet

Well slap my face
Can he Slap that bass
(Feet)
Bass
(Bass)
Bass
(Feet)
