lyrics

All the kids are out on a Saturday night
And the joint is really jumpin' and the band's alright
In this neighborhood they really dig that cowboy style
And if the music’s hot they’ll stick around awhile
But if you don’t play in 4, well it best be a ripper
'Cause they don’t like the waltz at the California Clipper

Well you can play a two-step you can play swing
You can play the cha cha cha or almost anything
You can keep it clever or you can throw on the schmalz
Just buddy stay away from that god forsaken waltz
If you want a suggestion, boy, I’m a big tipper:
Don’t play the waltz at the California Clipper!

Well it’s always classy and on the weekend it cooks
It’s always full of fun and it’s full of good looks
They’ll listen to your old stuff and your new stuff too
You can do most any cover that you want to do
You can play “Hey Jude”, you can play “Day Tripper”,
Just don’t play “Dig a Pony” at the California Clipper.

No, no!
