The Manhattan Transfer - Swing Balboa (Down On Riverside) lyrics
[The Manhattan Transfer - Swing Balboa Down On Riverside lyrics]
When the need to throttle out rhythm
Hit's you like a power glide
Dig the beats where the joint keeps jumpin'
Where they swing Balboa down the riverside
Jump the jets with pompadour guineas mark
The polymer with a slide
Strut the stuff with the tatooed Jimmies when
They swing Balboa down the riverside
Dance and swing will make you feel lighter
Sweep them blues right under your feet
Pump pump pump pump pump the
Heat will grow hotter
Till you're takin' the one
That you're swingin'
And shackin' it up in the booth (wah)
Juice the cane and a zoot suit Johnny
Hit the back room for a ride
Feel that groove while the DJ's swingin' as
We swing Balboa on the other side
If you wanna feel that West coast rhythm
Ride your coupe down the 405
Make the scene where the joint keeps jumpin'
And they swing Balboa down the riverside
When you play that local rhythm time
To find a pleasure dome
Where they dance at fresh Balboa to
A phat turntable and a saxophone
Jump the lot and shine your jumpers
Let the DJ set the groove
Crash the four and buzz that rhythm it's
A fast Balboa with an attitude
Swing Balboa
Dance and swing will make you feel lighter
Sweep them blues right under your feet
Pump pump pump pump pump the
Heat will grow hotter
Till you're takin' the one
That you're swingin'
And shackin' it up in the booth (wah)
It's a power man Jack where the feet keep
Pumpin' do the dance that's bona fide
Flip the grip and ricochet Johnny with a
Slingshot double and a power slide
If you wanna feel that West coast rhythm
Ride your coupe down the 405
Make the scene where the joint keeps
Jumpin' where they dig Balboa
Where they stomp Balboa
Where they hit jump bump strut slide
And swing Balboa down the riverside
Hit's you like a power glide
Dig the beats where the joint keeps jumpin'
Where they swing Balboa down the riverside
Jump the jets with pompadour guineas mark
The polymer with a slide
Strut the stuff with the tatooed Jimmies when
They swing Balboa down the riverside
Dance and swing will make you feel lighter
Sweep them blues right under your feet
Pump pump pump pump pump the
Heat will grow hotter
Till you're takin' the one
That you're swingin'
And shackin' it up in the booth (wah)
Juice the cane and a zoot suit Johnny
Hit the back room for a ride
Feel that groove while the DJ's swingin' as
We swing Balboa on the other side
If you wanna feel that West coast rhythm
Ride your coupe down the 405
Make the scene where the joint keeps jumpin'
And they swing Balboa down the riverside
When you play that local rhythm time
To find a pleasure dome
Where they dance at fresh Balboa to
A phat turntable and a saxophone
Jump the lot and shine your jumpers
Let the DJ set the groove
Crash the four and buzz that rhythm it's
A fast Balboa with an attitude
Swing Balboa
Dance and swing will make you feel lighter
Sweep them blues right under your feet
Pump pump pump pump pump the
Heat will grow hotter
Till you're takin' the one
That you're swingin'
And shackin' it up in the booth (wah)
It's a power man Jack where the feet keep
Pumpin' do the dance that's bona fide
Flip the grip and ricochet Johnny with a
Slingshot double and a power slide
If you wanna feel that West coast rhythm
Ride your coupe down the 405
Make the scene where the joint keeps
Jumpin' where they dig Balboa
Where they stomp Balboa
Where they hit jump bump strut slide
And swing Balboa down the riverside
