Lyrics Rhythm In Our Business - Jimmie Lunceford

Rhythm In Our Business

Rhythm is our business, rhythm is what we sell,
Rhythm is our business, business sure is swell,
Now, if you blue, rhythm’s what you need
If you got rhythm you’re sure to succeed,
Rhythm is our business, business sure is swell.
He’s the drummer man, in the band
Crosby’s on the drums, in the band
Oh, when he does tricks with the sticks
The boys in the band all play hot licks
He plays saxophone in the band
Joe plays the saxophone in the band
Oh, when he goes up that scale
(One line of scat singing followed by saxophone break)
Mose plays on the bass in the band
Mose plays on that bass in the band
Now when he picks on those strings
Happiness to you he brings
(Short bass break)
He blows on the trumpet in the band
Steve blows on that trumpet in the band
Oh, he’s the guy, hits 'em high
Makes you think he’s in the sky
(Trumpet Break)
Oh rhythm is our business!
