Patti Austin – Overture

Patti Austin – Overture Lyrics

Artist: Patti Austin
Song: Overture

Come on, you children
Gather around
Gather around you children
And we will lose that evil spirit called the hoodoo

Nothing but trouble, if he has found
If he has found you children
But you can chase the hoodoo
With the dance that you do

Let me lead the way, Jubilee today
He’ll never hound you
Step on the ground you children
I got rhythm, I got music

I got my man, who could ask for anything more?
Fascinatin’ rhythm, you got me on the go
Fascinatin’ rhythm, I’m all a-quiver
I’ve got daisies, in green pastures

I’ve got my man, who could ask for anything more?
Fascinatin’ rhythm, you got me on the go
Fascinatin’ rhythm, I’m all a-quiver
Old man trouble, I don’t mind him

You won’t find him
Hanging around, hanging around my back door
I’ve got starlight, sweet dreams
I’ve got my man, who could ask for anything more?

Who could ask for anything
You got me on the go
Fascinatin’ rhythm, I’m all a-quiver
Fascinatin’ rhythm, you got me on the go

Fascinatin’ rhythm
Fascinatin’ rhythm, you got me on the go
Fascinatin’ rhythm, I’m all a-quiver
What a mess you’re making

The neighbors want to know
Why I’m always shaking
Like a flivver
Each morning I get up with the sun

To find at night no work has been done
I know that once it didn’t matter
But now you’re doing wrong
When you start to patter

I’m so unhappy
Won’t you take the day off?
Decide to run along
Somewhere far away off

And make it snappy
Oh, how I long to be
The girl I used to be
Fascinatin’ rhythm, won’t you stop picking on me

Each morning I wake up with the sun
Just to see there’s no work that’s been done
I know that
Oh how I long to be the girl I used to be

Fascinatin’ rhythm, won’t you stop picking on me
Zoom, zoom, zoom zoom
The world is in a mess
With politics and taxes

And people grinding axes
There’s no happiness
Zoom, zoom, zoom zoom
Rhythm lead your ace

The future doesn’t fret me
As long as I can get me
Someone to slap that bass
Happiness is not a riddle

When I’m listening to that big bass fiddle
Slap that bass, slap it til it’s dizzy
Slap that bass, keep the rhythm busy
Zoom zoom zoom

Misery you’ve got to go
Woah
Slap that bass, use it like a tonic
Slap that bass, you gotta keep your Philharmonic

Zoom zoom zoom
And the milk and honey will flow
Dictators would be better off
If they zoom zoom now and then

Today, you can see that the happiest men
All got rhythm
In which case, if you want to bauble
Slap that bass, slap away your troubles

Learn to zoom zoom zoom
Slap that bass
Oh, dictators would be better off
If they zoom zoom now and then

Today, you can see that the happiest men
All got rhythm
Ah, in which case, if you want to bauble
Slap that bass, slap away your troubles

Learn to zoom zoom zoom
Slap that bass
Clap your hands
Slap your thigh

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Everybody come along and join the Jubilee
Clap your hands
Slap your thigh

Don’t you lose time, don’t you lose time
Come along, it’s shake your shoes time
Now for you and me
On the sands of time, you are only a pebble

Remember, trouble must be treated
Just like a rebel
Stand up to the Devil
Clap your hands, slap your thigh

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Talk about a
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Everybody come along and join the Jubilee
Let the drums roll out
Let the trumpets call
While the people shout

Strike up the band
Hear the cymbals ring
Callin’ one and all
To the martial swing

Strike up the band
There is work to be done, to be done
There’s a war to be won, to be won
Come you son of a, son of a gun

Take your stand
Fall in line, yea a bow
Come along, let’s go
Hey, Leader, strike up the band

There is work to be done, to be done
There’s a war to be won, to be won
Come you son of a, son of a gun
Take your stand

Fall in line, yea a bow
Come along, let’s go
Hey, Leader, strike up the band
I got music, I got rhythm
