Another old jazz tune. I had trouble singing with this when the melody goes double-time, not sure what my problem was. (FIXED!) I used the JAZFRED Realstyle. I sang and played harmonica. The lyrics are a mix of old and new, just for fun.

I'm tired of the rat race, baby, tired of all the duresse
I'd like to see you dance in a brand new evening dress
Let's hit the lights tonight and have ourselves a ball,
And for those who state that we're out too late, let's remind them not to be dull

I wanna have it all if only for one night
Fill your shoe with perignon, and yes I know that's trite
Tip the band to play your jam, bop our merry way
And if anyone quips about our hips tell em look the other way

Let's be happy, baby, howl up at the moon
We'll be back in that dratted rat race way too soon

Plenty of people out there that are thinking just like us,
Let's go out and find them, then we'll be so boisterous
We'll be noisy, yes indeed, we'll shout and yell and cheer
And if folks complain that we sound insane, give em mufflers for their ears

Raise your glass to all the folks who're sitting there at home
We can party for you if you're mired by the gloam,
Don't be frumpy just because you're all cooped up inside
And if any express that we're not at our best, they can go somewhere and hide

Let's be happy, baby, drink the city dry
We'll be back in that dratted rat race by and by

Solo

All good things come to an end and so it must for us
Back into that rat race soon, it's all so treasonous
You were beautiful my love and full of happiness
And when we can we will do it again, all ya gotta say is yes

Let's be happy, baby, if we can til then
Now it's back to that dratted rat race once again
