Sharp as a Tack lyrics

Submitted by somebody on 14 February 2008 - 12:49am.

Eddie Rochester Anderson sings this tune from "Star Spangled Rhythm" as he dances with Katherine Dunham. He sings everything except those verses in quotes.

Woodrow, we will pause here.

Yes, Sir.

 

Chorus:

"Hey Look, that Aurora Borealis

The boy must live in Buckingham Palace

All resplindent in scarlett and gold

That cat is a solid joy to behold"

 

Company zoot

I'm out Sunday strollin'

Company hoot

Dig this suit with a belt to boot

 

What do they say, when they see me comin their way

Jackson, you're sharp as a tack, with a belt in the back

Boy, draped to the briggs, muggin lightly, killin the chicks

Jackson, I'm as sweet as a bee, with a pleat in the seam

 

Payiin no mind to the conversation, with my nose in the air

Nevertheless, I swear they holler, you ain't only classy, you are fat and you're sassy

 

What do they shout, when they see me cuttin on out

Jackson, hurry on back cause papa you're sharp as a tack.

With a belt in the back.

 

Katherin Dunham:

"You ain't only classy, you are Haile Selassie"

 

With a belt in the back.

 

Take Me!

 

What'll they yell, when they see me waving farewell.

Jackson, hurry on back that uniform's sharp as a tack.

With a belt in the back.

With a belt in the back.
