Jersey Bounce Lyrics - The Benny Goodman Story, Vols. 1-2 - Benny Goodman

They call it that Jersey bounce 

A rhythm that really counts 

The temperature always mounts 

Wherever they play, the funny rhythm they play 

It started on Journal Square 

And somebody heard it there 

He put it right on the air 

And now you hear it everywhere 

Uptown, gave it new licks 

Downtown, added some tricks 

No town, makes it sound, the same 

As where it came from 

So if you don't feel so hot 

Go out to some Jersey spot 

And whether you're hep or not 

The Jersey bounce'll make you swing 

How I love that Jersey bounce 

Oh come on and play that Jersey bounce 

They call it that Jersey bounce 

A rhythm that really counts 

The temperature always mounts 

Whenever they play that Jersey Bounce 

It started on Journal Square 

And somebody heard it there 

He put it right on the air 

That tune called the Jersey Bounce 

Uptown, gave it new licks 

Downtown, added some tricks 

No town, make it sound the same 

As where it came from 

So if you don't feel so hot 

Go out to some Jersey spot 

And whether you're hep or not 

The Jersey bounce'll make you swing 

Ounce by ounce 

The Jersey Bounce 

Puts you right in the swing 

That Jersey Bounce 

It'll make you swing 

Give me that Jersey Bounce.
