Get set (get set)
Now ready (ready)
Go
Everybody razzle dazzle
Everybody razzle dazzle
Everybody razzle dazzle
Now here's a dance (a-wack-a doo, wack-a-doo)
Everyone can do (a-wack-a doo, wack-a-doo)
It's the hipster's dance (a-wack-a doo, wack-a-doo)
And the square cats too (a-wack-a doo, wack-a-doo)
Won't you take a chance (a-wack-a doo, wack-a-doo)
This is all you do (a-wack-a doo, wack-a-doo)
You just take your baby
Don't you leave that spot
Then you dance like crazy
Give it all you've got
That's the razzle dazzle
If you're ready or not
On your mark (on your mark)
Get set (get set)
Now ready (ready)
Go
Everybody razzle dazzle
Everybody razzle dazzle
Everybody razzle dazzle
If it's all night long
Let's get together (get together)
One, two and three (one, two and three)
Jumpin' to the center (to the center)
Just you and me (just you and me)
Put your best foot forward (wack-a doo, wack-a-doo)
Baby can't you see (baby can't you see)
When you hear them holler
And you ain't nowhere
Honey, you just foller
'Cause we're sure not square
That's the razzle dazzle
Well, it's everywhere
On your mark (on your mark)
Get set (get set)
Now ready (ready)
Go
Everybody razzle dazzle
Everybody razzle dazzle
Everybody razzle dazzle
If it's all night long
Everybody razzle dazzle
Everybody razzle dazzle
Everybody razzle dazzle
A-going on and on
If it's all night long
That's the razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle song
The lyrics to Bill Haley's song "Razzle Dazzle" describe a lively dance craze that everyone can participate in, both the "hipsters" and the "square cats." The song begins with a call to action, urging listeners to get ready to dance with the repeated sequence of "on your mark, get set, now ready, go." The chorus emphasizes the importance of "razzle dazzle" as the dance moves to try, which are encouraged to be done all night long. In the second verse, the lyrics shift to a description of the dance itself, with specific instructions on how to perform it. The song concludes with a repeat of the chorus and an extended outro, continuing the upbeat energy of the song.

The original King of Rock´n Roll at his very best.

Haley and the Comets ARE Rock and Roll. I love all the brilliant folks who came before and inspired him, but when I hear the Comets or see them in these early films, I hear, see, feel, smell, and taste ROCK AND ROLL. It feels like a shaved and chopped two tone '50 Merc' with street neon signs reflecting off the paint and chrome. Beautiful! Long Live Rock and Roll.
