SALLY ZU-ZAZZ As recorded by Big Joe Turner Well, blow that horn, boy; blow it hard ’n’ loud. Blow a little horn, boy; blow it hard ’n’ loud. Don’t blow this mornin’ till we draw a crowd. Gonna wake up my baby an’ tell her how I feel inside. Gonna wake up my baby an’ tell her how I feel inside. OK, baby, I’m ready for my mornin’ ride. Takes a rockin’ chair to rock, a rubber ball to roll. Long tall baby make my blood run cold. OK baby, pump(?) me from side to side Fine little deal, I’m ready for my mornin’ ride. [instrumental break] I got a brand-new baby ’n’ they call her Sally Zu-Zazz. Got a brand-new baby ’n’ they call her Sally Zu-Zazz. Yes, when she lovin’ me, boy, it’s too darn bad. She’s a hip little kitty, right from the city, ready for a mornin’ ride. Yes, toss it [to me], baby, toss it from side to side. She’s a hip little biddy, right from the city, ready for [a] mornin’ ride. * By the way, some people think the line "Takes a rockin’ chair to rock, a rubber ball to roll", which occurs in other songs besides this one, has something to do with the origin of the term "rock 'n' roll." Could be. |

Of course, many terms that started off as sexual euphemisms ended up as dance crazes! Jass, Georgia grind, Black bottom, maybe even Jive come to mind. RtS |
