Lyrics for C Jam Blues

Baby, take me down to Duke's place Wildest box in town is Duke's place Love that piano sound in Duke's place Saxes do their tricks in Duke's place Fellas swing their chicks in Duke's place Come on, get your kicks in Duke's place You find yourself a seat, and when you want to eat You look around and yell waiter You fill your cup chock full of dreams and drink it up You're jetting along with your girlie It's after three o'clock, but, baby, it's still early If you've never been to Duke's place Take your tootsies into Duke's place Life is in a spin in Duke's place
