Jimmie Lunceford - Rhythm Is Our Business

Rhythm is our business, rhythm is what we sell
Rhythm is our business, business sure is swell
Now, if you blue, rhythm's what you need
If you got rhythm you're sure to succeed
Rhythm is our business, business sure is swell

He's the drummer man, in the band (in the band)
Crosby's on the drums, in the band (in the band)
Oh, when he does tricks with the sticks
The boys in the band all play hot licks

He plays saxophone in the band (in the band)
Joe plays the saxophone in the band (in the band)
Oh, when he goes up that scale

Mose plays on the bass in the band (in the band)
Mose plays on that bass in the band (in the band)
Now when he picks on those strings
Happiness to you he brings

He blows on the trumpet in the band (in the band)
Steve blows on that trumpet in the band (in the band)
Oh, he's the guy, hits 'em high
Makes you think he's in the sky

Oh rhythm is our business!
