Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get set (get set)
Now ready (ready)
Go
[Chorus]
Everybody razzle dazzle
Everybody razzle dazzle
If it's all night long
Now here's a dance
Everyone can do
It's the hipster's dance
And the square cats too
Won't you take a chance
This is all you do
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
[Chorus]
Interlude
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
[Chorus]
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

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.
