Palm Springs Jump - On The Groove Juice Special

You better get your luggage packed.
Meet you by the railroad track.
Shuckin' and jivin' swing--
Everybody's jumping down to Palm Springs.

Riding like a buckaroo!
Playin' tennis, swimmin' too!
Listen to the cowboy sing:
Everybody's jumping down to Palm Springs.

While the snow is falling
On the mountain top
And the coyote calling
Boy they never stop!

If you want a dancin' song,
Better bring some cabbage 'long,
Filthy lucre is the thing
For everybody jumpin' down to Palm Springs!

- Thanks to John Mirabile for sending the lyrics

(for transcription i basically used truespell www.truespel.com with some additional symbols: ' for stress, o for the sound of british english /Q/ as in got (maybe it's just me, but that's how i heard the text), ey for /eI/ as in late; hm i think that's it. i'll post other transcriptions later on. - YIP ROC basically has the sounds of english, with word-final /h/ as something not present in present day standard english (UK or US) - or maybe it should be /x/ as in Hebrew or Arabic?)

The Bartender's Just Like My Mother to Me

Oh the Bartender is just like a mother,
with his apron so clean and white
for he tries to make every happy,
and he never looks for a fight
Whenever I'm sad and lonesome, he always gets me to smile
Oh the Bartender is just like a mother to me, and I am his favorite child

Oh the Bartender is just like a mother,
and I know he's man's best friend,
cause he passes the pretzels and peanuts,
to the guy all alone on the end
Whenever my wife comes huntin', he says "no, he hasn't been in",
Oh the Bartender is just like a mother to me, and I am his favorite kin.

Oh the Bartender is just like a mother to me,
for he knows when I've had enough
he refuses to give me another,
when I ask for more of the stuff,
He won't let me be forsaken no matter how big my tab,
Oh the Bartender is just like a mother to me, cause the bar is owned by my Dad.

Bartender, I surrender, bartender, some sender,
Bartender is just like a mother to me.

(Groove Juice Special) Hit The Jive Jack
ALSTON/TOLBERT 4:46

Hit that jive jack, put it in your pocket, 'til I get back,
goin' downtown to see a man, I ain't got time to shake your hand

Hit that jive jack, put it in your pocket, 'til I get back,
goin' downtown to see a man, I ain't got time to shake your hand

Standin' on the corner, all full of jive,
when you meet old schoolboy, ask him to give you five, tra-diada

Hit that jive jack, put it in your pocket, 'til I get back,
ya know time waits for no man, I ain't got time to shake your hand

The Groove Juice Special

The groove juice special keeps rolling along,
the groove juice special it's the night clubbers' song,
You're out at night, and art feelin' tight,
The juicy, juicy, juicy, juicy groove juice.
Z for ziskey is the word you'll say,
When the bottles start comin' your way,
You'll be hoppin' like hades a poppin',
The juicy, juicy, juicy, juicy groove juice.

You'll feel mellow, just a cello,
you'll feel fine,
just like wine, and I ain't lyin'.
The groove juice special keeps rolling along,
the groove juice special it's the night clubbers' song,
You'll feel great like a P38,
The juicy, juicy, juicy, juicy groove juice.
