The Vamp
Words and Music by Byron Gay
Verse 1: Ev'ry body do the vamp,
Vamp until you get a cramp;
Grab your tootsie, hold her tight,
While they're playing, just keep swaying,
Do a little "what-not," do a little fox trot, When you cuddle up don't fight.
Chorus: Vamp - and sing a long, bump, bump keep a doing it,
Vamp - and sing a song, bump, bump don't you ruin it,
Do - a nifty step, - with lots of "pep," - and watch your reputation.
Do - a "Bumble Bee," bump, bump buzz around a bit,
Shake - a wicked knee, bump, bump shee will fall for it,
Vamp - all night and day, Keep vamping till you vamp your cares away.

Verse 2: Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Vamp the little lady, Vamp the little lady, Vamp the little lady, Vamp the little lady,
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
She will like it, maybe, She will like it, maybe, She will like it, maybe, oh, you pretty baby,
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Make it good and snappy, Make it good and snappy, Make it good and snappy, Make it good and snappy,
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Guess I got to go now, guess I got to go now,
'sev'ry body happy, 'sev'ry body happy, 'sev'ry body happy, sure. (Spoken) Good!
