kit's got some brand new licks
down by the snake at the lake
there's this joint that's ready to blow
every hound in the band's gotta sound
howling away it must be judgment day
they run it down like a cat in a hole
that's the way they do it
the trumpet's jumpin' the joint
that's the way they do it
rule the back of the room
always a reasonable price
in any every color she feels
this joint's gonna blow your mind
the drums be breaking a sweat
the man is as hot as a high roller's bet
the sticks click like time on a clock
they're just beginning to rock!
the trumpet's blinding the light
that's the way they do it
