16. Salvation Stomp
(Donovan)

Can't remember what Donovan invented upon the time of this, but this is maybe the best donocover version on this collection. Me thinks. --Jore

The Pee Song is the best! Donovan invented Dixieland jazz here of course. --Davy

When I heard that crazy music
Coming out the scene
That aching shaking shuffle
Down along the Mississippi Queen
That rough and randy off beat
And that thumpin' bass
That slinky snaky kinky
Licorice-a-stickin' up the place

Couldn't keep my feet from jumpin'
Salvation Stomp!
Couldn't keep my toes from tappin'
Salvation Stomp!
I couldn't keep my feet from jumpin'
Salvation Stomp!
Couldn't keep my plates of meat from
Flippin' and floppin' all along

Wild cat hair everywhere
Great big flyin' boots
Splitting floor boards as the trumpeter
He go rooty-tooty-toot
Long haired lanky lady
Black-Drag-Delight
Just jiggin' up and down
Hey, man, she really jiggin' outa sight!

Couldn't keep my feet from jumpin'
Salvation Stomp!
Couldn't keep my toes from tappin'
Salvation Stomp!
Couldn't keep my feet from jumpin'
Salvation Stomp!
Couldn't keep my plates of meat from
Flippin' and floppin' all along, yeah!

Couldn't keep my feet from jumpin'
Salvation Stomp!
I couldn't keep my toes from tappin'
Salvation Stomp!
I couldn't keep my feet from jumpin'
Salvation Stomp!
I couldn't keep my plates of meat from
Flippin' and floppin' all along

Big beer belly
Bouncin' up and down
Great clouds of reefer comin'
Over from the shady side of town
Funky Monkey Suit and Top Hat
Roll them bloodshot eyes
Just let it all hang out
And Boogie Woogie down to Paradise

Couldn't keep my feet from jumpin'
Salvation Stomp!
Couldn't keep my toes from tappin'
Salvation Stomp!
No, no, couldn't keep my feet from jumpin'
Salvation Stomp!
Couldn't keep my plates of meat from
Flippin' and floppin' all along

Cool, cool cats!
Cool, cool cats!
Cool, cool cats!
Yeah!
