Lyrics: SLAP BASS HEARTBEAT

“Well now… look what just walked into the Blue Comet…” Well-a bop-bop-baby, don’t you look at me that way… You make my poor little rockin’ heart sway… Saturday night at the Blue Comet Club Whole joint jumpin’, beer spillin’ flood But my bass girl vanished, ambulance lights Thought my big break disappeared that night Then through the smoke and the neon haze Walked a blonde bombshell with a sideways gaze Carried that upright like a Cadillac queen Coolest little heartbeat I’d ever seen She smiled slow… Like she already knew my name… And honey when she hit them strings I ain’t been the same… She hit that slap bass — boom boom boom Shook my lonely heart clean across the room Red lipstick kisses and Tennessee heat Now my whole world swings to her backbeat Oh Betty, baby, can’t you see? You done played your way right into me Every time that low string speaks It’s a slap bass heartbeat She grinned at me through the stage light glow Made my knees weak in the middle o’ the show Crowd kept dancin’ but I couldn’t sing Without thinkin’ ‘bout her fingertips on strings Rain came down on Beale Street late We stayed outside while the band packed away She pulled me close underneath that sign Said “Honey, I think your lips fit mine.” Neon rain… Shinin’ on her golden hair… Lord have mercy, one little kiss And I was halfway there… She hit that slap bass — boom boom boom Shook my lonely heart clean across the room Cherry-red lipstick and motel sheets Now my whole world swings to her heartbeat Oh Betty, baby, hold me tight Rock me till the mornin’ light Every kiss knocks me off my feet Like a slap bass heartbeat Well the jukebox cried and the tires hummed Outside Memphis as the dawn sun come She laughed soft while the coffee steamed And kissed me slow like a fever dream That slap bass — boom boom boom Still echoes sweet in my smoky room One wild night turned my whole life ‘round Now every love song got her sound Oh Betty, darlin’, don’t you leave You’re the rhythm hidin’ up my sleeve Every time our two hearts meet It’s a slap bass heartbeat Well-a bop-bop-baby, don’t you walk away… You make my little rockin’ heart sway… Slap bass heartbeat… All night long…
