Five OClock Drag Lyrics
You're "hep" to what's buzzin', cousin;
You're up on what's cookin' too
Don'tcha start relaxin', Jackson;
Show what you can do
The Five O'clock Drag is drivin'!
Just look at those cats arrivin'
Around about five for jivin';
Say, it's a real "hep" treat
The rhythm it blares is tricky
A rhythm that scares an "ickie";
It's givin' the square a mickie
A touch of Basin Street
First, you start to zag
And then you zig it
And then you dig it
Hip! Hip! Hip!
Then you start to shag, and
As you jig it
You take a hop a jump
Or a skip
Five O'clock Drag is jumpin'
The drummer man's beat is thumpin';
Five O'clock Drag is sumpin'
That really does "all reet."
The Five O'clock Drag is drivin'!
Just look at those cats arrivin'
Around about five for jivin';
Say, it's a real "hep" treat
The rhythm it blares is tricky

The drummer man's beat is thumpin';
Five O'clock Drag is sumpin'
