The Joint Is Really Jumpin’ in Carnegie Hall Judy Garland (Ft. José Iturbi)

Perhaps it was something that hit me
Perhaps it was something I ate
But out of the blue, I dreamed I met you
And you said to me, "Hi, ya Gate!"
Millions have heard you play Chopin
The critics applaud and approve
But millions more would simply adore
To hear you get in the groove

You won't believe it
You'll think it's a dream
To hear them riffing it
Right on the beam
But when you hear trumpets
Give out a call, you'll know
The Joint Is really jumpin' down at Carnegie Hall

Instead of Strauss
They play Irving Berlin
Instead of Brahms
It's "Begin the Beguine"
Those classic ackies
Are due for a fall since
The Joint Is really jumpin' down at Carnegie Hall

They're playing
Ta-tlee-a-ti, Ta-tlee-a-ti
With Shostakovich
Ta-tlee-a-ti, Ta-tlee-a-ti
With Mozart and Bach
Ta-tlee-a-ti, Ta-tlee-a-ti
And they don't know which
'Cause anything can happen
When they start to rock
