| Spread the religion, spread the religion,
|
| Spread the religion of the rhythm of life.
|
| Daddy started out in San Francisco,
|
| Tootin' on his trumpet loud and mean.
|
| Suddenly a voice said, «Go forth, Daddy.
|
| Spread the picture on a wider screen.»
|
| And the voice said, «Daddy, there’s a million pigeons
|
| Ready to be hooked on new religions.
|
| Hit the road, Daddy. |
| Leave your common-law wife.
|
| Spread the religion of the rhythm of life.»
|
| And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat,
|
| Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet,
|
| Rhythm in your bedroom, rhythm in the street,
|
| Yes, the rhythm of life is a powerful beat.
|
| To feel the rhythm of life,
|
| To feel the powerful beat,
|
| To feel the tingle in your fingers,
|
| To feel the tingle in your feet.
|
| Ooooo
|
| Daddy spread the gospel in Milwaukee,
|
| Took his walkie-talkie to Rocky Ridge,
|
| Blew his way to Canton, then to Scranton,
|
| Till he landed under the Manhattan Bridge.
|
| Daddy was the new sensation, got himself a congregation,
|
| Built up quite an operation down below.
|
| With the pie-eyed piper blowing, while the muscatel was flowing,
|
| All the cats were go, go, going down below.
