Latch On Lyrics

Cleo Brown

Just before we start to swing,
I want to tell you, cats, just one thing,
Tune up for this rhythm jamboree!

You trumpets sound your A,
Trombones sound your B,
Latch on, everybody, follow me!

I got a song to sing, a song to sell,
Not so hot, but the music's swell!
When I get through, that's your cue,
Everybody latch on!

I'm gonna sing one chorus, sweet and hot,
I'm gonna give it everything I've got,
When I get through, singin' this song,
Everybody latch on!

Let me hear the saxophones singin',
Trumpets hit it high and stingin',
Rhythm section, you can bring,
Latch on, everybody, let me hear you swing.

Push the valves and hold 'em down,
Hear that music go round and round,
'Cause I'm gettin' ready to go to town,
Everybody latch on!

I got a song to sing, a song to sell,
Not so hot, but the music's swell!
When I get through, that's your cue,
Everybody latch on!

I'm gonna sing one chorus, sweet and hot,
I'm gonna give it everything I've got,
When I get through singin' this song,
Everybody latch on!

Let me hear the saxophones singin',
Trumpets hit it high and stingin',
Rhythm section, you can bring,
Latch on, everybody, let me hear you swing.

Push the valves and hold 'em down,
Hear that music go round and round,
'Cause I'm gettin' ready to go to town,
Everybody ltach on!
