JERSEY BOUNCE

As recorded by Ella Fitzgerald

(From the 1961 Album CLAP HANDS, HERE COMES CHARLIE!)

Intro

[F] [F7] [D#7] [C#7]

[C7]

Chorus

[F] [F7]

They call it that Jersey bounce

[G7] [C7] [F7]

A rhythm that really counts

[G7] [C7]

The temperature always mounts

[F7] [G7] [Gm7] [C7]

Wherever they play, the funny rhythm they play

[F] [F7]

It started on Journal Square

[G7] [D7]

And somebody heard it there

[G7] [C7]

He put it right on the air

[Fmaj7] [F7]

And now you hear it everywhere

Verse 1

[A#7]

Uptown, gave it new licks

[D#7]

Downtown, added some tricks

[C#7] [G7]

No town, makes it sound, the same

[C7]

As where it came from

[Fmaj7] [F7]

So if you don't feel so hot

[G7]

Go out to some Jersey spot

[Gm7] [C7]

And whether you're hep or not

[Fmaj7] [F7]

The Jersey bounce'll make you swing

[Scat Interlude]

[Fmaj7] [F7] [G7] [C7]

[Fmaj7] [G7] [C7]

How I love that Jersey bounce

[Fmaj7] [Dm7] [G7] [Gm7] [C7]

[Fmaj7] [F7]

Oh come on and play that Jersey bounce

[A#7] [D#7] [C#7] [G7]

[C7] [Fmaj7] [D7] [G7] [C7]

[F] [D#7] [D7]

Chorus

[Gmaj7] [G7]

They call it that Jersey bounce

[A7] [D7] [G7]

A rhythm that really counts

[D7]

The temperature always mounts

[G7]

Whenever they play that Jersey Bounce

[Em7]

It started on Journal Square

[A7]

And somebody heard it there

[D7]

He put it right on the air

[Gmaj7] [G7]

That tune called the Jersey Bounce

[G7]

Uptown, gave it new licks

[D#7] [F7] [A#7]

Downtown, added some tricks

[D#7] [G7]

No town, make it sound the same

[A7] [D7]

As where it came from

Verse 2

[Gmaj7] [G7]

So if you don't feel so hot

[A7]

Go out to some Jersey spot

[D7]

And whether you're hep or not

[Gmaj7] [G7]

The Jersey bounce'll make you swing

[A7]

Ounce by ounce

[D7]

The Jersey Bounce

[G7] [F7] [E7]

Puts you right in the swing

[A7]

That Jersey Bounce

[D7] N.C. [G7] [Em7] [D7]

It'll make you swing

Outro

N.C. [Gmaj7] [C7] [G7] [C7] [G]

Give me that Jersey Bounce
