Lyrics

[Chorus]
A-don't you know that I danced?
I danced till a quarter to three
With the help, last night, with Daddy G
He was swinging on the sax with the girls in tune
And I was dancing all over the room
[Verse 1]
Oh, don't you know the people were dancing like they were mad?
It was the swingenest band they had ever had
And the swingenest song that could ever be
Was a night with Daddy G
[PreChorus]
And let me tell you that I never had it so good
Yeah, and I know you never could
Until you get helped out with that jive
And take a band like the Church Street Five
[Chorus]
Don't you know that I danced?
I danced till a quarter to three
With the help last night with Daddy G
Everybody was a-happy as a-they could be
'Cause they was swinging with Daddy G
[Bridge]
A-blow, Daddy
Oh sweet, sweet Daddy, yeah
Yay-yay-yay-yay, yeah
Oh just a little bit of soul now
Aw, yeah
[Verse 2]
A-let me tell you that
I never had it so good
Yeah, and I know you never could
Until you get helped out with that jive
And take a band like the Church Street Five
[Chorus]
Don't you know that I danced?
I danced till a quarter to three
With the help last night with Daddy G
Everybody was a-happy as a-they could be
'Cause they was swinging with a-Daddy G
[Outro]
A-blow, Daddy
A-blow, blow, Daddy
Ah, yay-yay-yay-yay-yay, yeah
Oh, yeah
A-blow, Daddy
