Lyrics:
Mister End Man
Do you know about swinging?
Do you know the kind of songs that they’re singing?
Tell me, are you hip?

Mister End Man
Here’s the buzz that I’m diving
Soon you minstrel men will have to start jiving
Better take my tip

You cannot keep up wearing gingham
You got to take it off and swing ‘em
You better heed my warning
They day jazz is coming
It’s down with good ol’ corn

Mister End Man
There’s no use in your bawling
It’s a swing for it
So come on and fall in
‘Cause we are all in line

Mister End Man, are you hip?
