Morse Ella Mae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get set (get set!)
Now ready (ready!) go!
Everybody razzle dazzle (3x)
If it's all night long
Now here's a dance (a-waka-do, waka-do)
Everyone can do (a-waka-do, waka-do)
It's the hipster's dance (a-waka-do, waka-do)
Won't you take a chance (a-waka-do, waka-do)
This is all you do (a-waka-do, waka-do)
You just take your baby
Don't you leave that spot
Then you dance like crazy
Give it all you got
That's the razzle dazzle
If your ready or not
On your mark (on your mark)
Get set (get set)
Now ready (ready) go!
Everybody razzle dazzle (3x)
If it's all night long
Let's get together (get together)
One, two and three (one, two and three)
Jumping to the setter (to the setter)
Just you and me (just you and me)
Put your best foot forward (waka-do, waka-do)
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 (3x)
If it's all night long
Everybody razzle dazzle (3x)
A-going on and off
If it's all night long
That's the razzle dazzle

A few years ago, an Spanish label called COCODRILO (alligator) released a 45rpm EP and then a CD with 18 great songs, mantaining an original record picture of Ella Mae. Maybe you could find it already.
