Don't Let That Music Die
Willie Dixon Lyrics

Rev it up, step it up, keep the tempo high
Keep the energy and pace up, don't slow down the music

Don't you let that music D-I-E
Don't allow the music to die or fade out of existence

Don't you let that music die
Do your part to ensure the music stays alive and vibrant

I'll hang my head and cry
If the music dies, it will cause sadness and emotional pain

I love to hear that ivory swing
The artist enjoys hearing the piano being played in a swinging style

I love to hear that guitar sing
The artist loves to hear the guitar's melodic and expressive sounds

I love to hear that big bass thing
The artist loves the deep and powerful sounds of the bass guitar

But don't you let that music die!
Despite the appreciation of the sounds, it is important to keep the music alive and thriving

I like to hear sax make riffs
The artist enjoys hearing the saxophone play improvised and distinctive melodies

I love my big bop from the lip
The singer enjoys hearing explosive and energetic sounds from a musician's lip

I love to hear that trombone riff
The artist enjoys listening to the trombone's improvised musical phrases

Don't let it die
This phrase emphasizes the importance of keeping the music alive and vibrant
