720 In The Books

When the rhythm gets to rockin' on the swing side

And the cats condescend to lend an ear

When the beatniks start to gather 'round the ringside

There's a certain thing they always want to hear

Seven-twenty, seven-twenty in the books



What's the tune they like the best

When the jive becomes de-luxe

What's the number one request

Seven-twenty in the books



When the band begins to play

You should see the dirty looks

If the leader doesn't say

Seven-twenty in the books



It's something that you'll approve

Gets you right in the groove

To keep in step

You really gotta be hep



Just be like the kangaroo

Or the fishes in the brooks

Ev'rybody's jumpin' to

Seven-twenty in the books



It's something that you'll approve

Gets you out o' the groove

To keep in step

You really gotta be hep



Just be like the kangaroo

Or the fishes in the brooks

Ev'rybody's jumpin' to

Seven-twenty in the books



Seven-twenty

Seven-twenty

Seven-twenty

Let's keep jumpin' to seven-twenty in the books
