lyrics

Hey now baby won't you put on your best
Red feather hat and your flapper dress
I wanna take you out on the town
But first pretty mama do you wanna go down
To the nightclub, dancing, drinking and such?
Get in the mood, I hope it doesn't take much
Let me treat you to a mighty fine spread
But I prob'ly shouldn't tell ya, what's goin' on in my
Head to the dancefloor, the band is real hot
Do the Shimmy, Shag, Lindy Hop, Turkey Trot
Dancin' the Tango like Ginger and Fred
Pretty soon I'm thinkin', I'd like to take you to
Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, Queens
KC, Chi-town, New Orleans
Swingin' to the hot jazz, diggin' the scene
With my hand on your hips, and my thoughts in-between
The shows there's a burlesque act
But that ain't what I''ve been lookin' at
It's only you, as a matter of fact
"Cause you mesmerize me mama when you look like that!

When you look like that (when you look like that)
When you look like that (when you look like that)
When you look like that (when you look like that)
Well, ya mesmerize me mama when you look like that!

Come on, pretty baby, won't ya give me a whirl
Come on, pretty mama, let me take ya 'round the world
Come on, pretty baby, let your love unfurl
'Cause I love ya pretty sugar mama, that's for sure!

When you look like that (when you look like that)
When you look like that (when you look like that)
When you look like that (when you look like that)
Well, ya mesmerize me mama when you look like that!
Won't you marry me baby, when you look like that!
