[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I've got to be a rug cutter
Swing out in the groove
I've got to be a rug cutter
So my jive will improve

I was so un-trucky
Now I'm super-ducky
Gonna cut back a figure
So, Gate, I'll dig ya

I, I've got to be a rug cutter
Swing out in the groove

[Instrumental Break]

I've gotta be a rug cutter

I've gotta be a rug cutter
[Scatting]
I got to be (I've gotta be)
Rug cuttin' me (Rug cuttin' me)
Swingin' (Swingin') in the groove (Yeah)
