JERSEY BOUNCE As recorded by Ella Fitzgerald (From the 1961 Album CLAP HANDS HERE COMES CHARLIE!) [Intro] [Chorus] They call it that Jersey bounce A rhythm that really counts The temperature always mounts Wherever they play the funny rhythm they play It started on Journal Square And somebody heard it there He put it right on the air And now you hear it everywhere [Verse 1] Uptown gave it new licks Downtown added some tricks No town makes it sound the same As where it came from So if you don’t feel so hot Go out to some Jersey spot And whether you’re hep or not The Jersey bounce’ll make you swing [Scat Interlude] How I love that Jersey bounce Oh come on and play that Jersey bounce [Chorus] They call it that Jersey bounce A rhythm that really counts The temperature always mounts Whenever they play that Jersey Bounce It started on Journal Square And somebody heard it there He put it right on the air That tune called the Jersey Bounce Uptown gave it new licks Downtown added some tricks No town make it sound the same As where it came from [Verse 2] So if you don’t feel so hot Go out to some Jersey spot And whether you’re hep or not The Jersey bounce’ll make you swing Ounce by ounce The Jersey Bounce Puts you right in the swing That Jersey Bounce It’ll make you swing [Outro] Give me that Jersey Bounce
