Lyrics “C” Jam Blues - Duke Ellington

“C” Jam Blues

Baby!
take me down to Duke’s Place,
Wildest box in town is Duke’s Place
Love that piano sound in Duke’s Place.
Saxes do their tricks in Duke’s Place,
Fellas swing their chicks in Duke’s Place
Come on!
Get your kicks in Duke’s Place!
You find yourself a seat, and when you want to eat,
You look around and yell, «Waiter!»
You fill your cup chock full of dreams and drink it up You’re jetting along with your girlie
It’s after three o’clock, but baby, it’s still early!
If you’ve never been to Duke’s Place,
Take your tootsies into Duke’s Place
Life is in a spin in Duke’s Place
