[Verse:]
|
Snappy music is the only music that was ever meant for me
|
A little spice is very nice in ev'ry melody
|
Let me mingle with a peppy jingle
|
That the jazz bands love to play
|
I'm a swifty
|
Very nifty
|
That's why I say
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Bring on the pepper
|
We need a lot of pepper
|
You've got to be a stepper with a barrel of speed
|
Make it good and snappy if you want to get by
|
Make 'em think you're happy though you're ready to die
|
|
When you begin it
|
Put lots of ginger in it
|
About a mile a minute is the tempo we need
|
Slow folks are no folks
|
To trouble with, no, indeed!
|
|
Lots of pep will make an undertaker
|
Rock with joy and laughter
|
If you can sprinkle a cute little twinkle
|
You'll find that's the wrinkle we're after
|
|
Just keep a-goin'
|
And don't forget to throw in
|
A bit of Georgie Cohan that we know
|
Lots of tobasco
|
That's all we ask so
|
Bring on the pepper, let's go
|
