Down on the Mississippi River in a knockdo* divenI met a trumpet playin' character and Man alive!nWhen he began to rip, he really played it from the hipnAnd when I asked about his name, they told me, That's 'The Lip'.nYip yip yip yipnNo one plays high notes like The Lip.nHe's got a tone that's reminiscent of a boy named BixnHe plays so high that only dogs can hear him, just for kicks.nAnd when I asked him does he readnHe says, I'll tell you, hon, I read a little bit but not enough to hurt me none.nYip yip yip yip.nNo one plays high notes like The Lip.nI said The Lip.nShe must mean Ray Anthony, huh?nI said The Lip.nNo, man, she means Harry James.nI said The Lip.nYou mean Louis Prima.nI said The Lip.nNoo, LIP-er-ace.nYip yip yip yipnNo one plays high notes like The Lip.nI never heard a trumpet player play a note so highnAnd I had to coax a lot before The Lip would tell me whynThen he took out a little jar that's labelled 'High-note Grease'nAnd he rubs a little every night on his mouthpiecenYip yip yip yipnNo one plays high notes like The Lip.nListen here gal, are you kiddin' about all that 'high-note grease'?nNo, man, I swear, he had ten in his valise.nWha', you mean he goes to the drugstore and gets them from the medicine shelf?nNo, some cat's told me he makes it himself.nYip yip yip yipnTell us the secret of The Lip.nWell..you take a bucketful of steamnAnd a dozen rooster eggsnAnd you mix 'em up gently with a bushel full of goldfish legsnAnd ya hang 'em on a sky hook in the midnight sunnMmm and then you fry them until they're done.nYip yip yip yipnThat's the secret of The Lip
