Jersey Bounce
Jersey Bounce
Benny Goodman & Benny Goodman and His Orchestra Lyrics
They call it that Jersey bounce
A rhythm that really counts
The temperature always mounts
Wherever they play, the funny rhythm they play
It started on Journal Square
And somebody heard it there
He put it right on the air
And now you hear it everywhere
Uptown, gave it new licks
Downtown, added some tricks
No town, makes it sound, the same
As where it came from
So if you don't feel so hot
Go out to some Jersey spot
And whether you're hep or not
The Jersey bounce'll make you swing
How I love that Jersey bounce
Oh come on and play that Jersey bounce
They call it that Jersey bounce
A rhythm that really counts
The temperature always mounts
Whenever they play that Jersey Bounce
It started on Journal Square
And somebody heard it there
He put it right on the air
That tune called the Jersey Bounce
Uptown, gave it new licks
Downtown, added some tricks
No town, make it sound the same
As where it came from
So if you don't feel so hot
Go out to some Jersey spot
And whether you're hep or not
The Jersey bounce'll make you swing
Ounce by ounce
The Jersey Bounce
Puts you right in the swing
That Jersey Bounce
It'll make you swing
Give me that Jersey Bounce.
A rhythm that really counts
The temperature always mounts
Wherever they play, the funny rhythm they play
It started on Journal Square
And somebody heard it there
He put it right on the air
And now you hear it everywhere
Downtown, added some tricks
No town, makes it sound, the same
As where it came from
So if you don't feel so hot
Go out to some Jersey spot
And whether you're hep or not
The Jersey bounce'll make you swing
How I love that Jersey bounce
Oh come on and play that Jersey bounce
They call it that Jersey bounce
A rhythm that really counts
The temperature always mounts
Whenever they play that Jersey Bounce
It started on Journal Square
And somebody heard it there
He put it right on the air
That tune called the Jersey Bounce
Uptown, gave it new licks
Downtown, added some tricks
No town, make it sound the same
As where it came from
So if you don't feel so hot
Go out to some Jersey spot
And whether you're hep or not
The Jersey bounce'll make you swing
Ounce by ounce
The Jersey Bounce
Puts you right in the swing
That Jersey Bounce
It'll make you swing
Give me that Jersey Bounce.

I'm an old soul at heart. This music. This era. We live in a different world. My father was 10 years old listening to the BBC on the radio hearing about B17 raids from the 90th bomb group. Just puts things in perspective. I respect and admire everyone from our greatest generation.

Ever watched Masters Of The Air that recently came out
@gerrycoogan6544
The more I hear, the more I appreciate how great Benny Goodman really was.
@IamP3ngu1n
Love that empty ballroom-type "echo" this recording has 🥰
@scotnick59
It rather does have that effect, yeah?
@davegaba9091
@@scotnick59 Kinda like the effect of the music playing out on the old Armory 'drill' (dance) floor...
@georgecripe4898
This was the music of the Greatest Generation. It boosted the morale of the GI's and helped win WW2. This particular piece was the epitome of swing music of which Benny was King!
@karenaakeberg1068
Good nostalgic tunes

YAY! This is the theme song for Miss Rose White, 1992 Hallmark film. I was able to find it when I noticed Rose is singing bits of the lyrics near the beginning of the movie while dressing for Sabbath. So cool! TYJ!

As an 11-year-old I used to hear this song in the summer every day at the beach.
